Has one of your users reported opening a form that has a custom HTML task pane and they tell you they see a bunch of code in the task pane. You can't reproduce the issue but what you see in their screen is the raw HTML markup code showing. If the user tries the same thing on another machine it works fine. Well we think we've figured out ...
