Skyward Windows Not Visible with Google Chrome 18

Skyward Critical Issue

Skyward Windows Not Visible with Google Chrome 18

Who is affected by this mailing?
Districts that use the Google Chrome browser with the Skyward Web Product and have updated to Google Chrome version 18. 

What is the issue?Users that are running Google Chrome 18, which was released last week, may experience issues where new windows in the Skyward Web Product are not displaying correctly.  The new Skyward windows are opening at a size that cannot be viewed.  The new window displays in the taskbar, but is not immediately viewable. How do I correct the problem?
Skyward is creating a work around to the Google Chrome issue that will be included in Addendum9 of the February 2012 Release, which is scheduled to be posted on Wednesday, April 4th.

Please note that the Skyward work around may not correct the issue in all areas. 

Until Addendum9 is posted, users can manually work around the issue by right clicking the window in the taskbar and choosing Maximize to display the window.  Another option would be to use a different Web browser such as Internet Explorer or FireFox.

Thank you,
Skyward Support Staff
