Hi Christine,
This is a typical problem in LiveCycle Designer ES (8.2). I have faced this issue several times. Though I do not know the actual reason for this. There are many things responsible for this behaviour.
- Is the form opened for several hours in LiveCycle Designer?
- Have you made repeated copy paste operation of the fields as well as of the Javascript?
- Have you saved the form repeatedly for small changes without doing the "Save As" operation?
- Have you long lines of JavaScript?
Few Suggestions might Help...
- Do not open the LiveCycle Designer for longer duration like more than 4 hours. Save changes. Close it and reopen it.
- Instead of doing the "save" operation do the "Save As" operation. It will also help in reducing the size of the form.
- Avoid Copy pasting of the fields or JavaScript always. While you do it, if you see the XMl Source you will some designer id would be added exponentially.
- Use events intelligently.
Thanks,
Bibhu.
