  • Hi there,

    This is a known issue, related to DDE and Windows 10 version 1809 (prior versions, such as 1803 will not show this behavior)
    No workaround at this time, other than dragging the url to the top of your browser (which should open a new tab), or switching to a different browser.

    Thanks!

  • There are even more problems with the 5.30 and the Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 7 x64), even if it is started outside the sandbox!

    Inside and outside Sandboxie: The charts of the signals on mql5.com are no longer displayed.
    Example: www.mql5.com/.../489744

    Inside Sandboxie: After logging in to mql5.com, a middle click on a link successfully opens a new tab, but you are no longer logged in to that tab. This problem does not exist if Internet Explorer was started in "InPrivate" mode.

    So I'm back to 5.28 and all problems with Internet Explorer 11 are gone.

    I use Pale Moon, Firefox and Internet Explorer. It all depends on the page. Pale Moon for news sites without videos, Firefox for sites with videos or for certain news sites and Internet Explorer for sites where no addons should be active or where the performance is better than with Firefox.

    I don't like and don't use chromium based browsers.


    Windows 7 x64 with all updates • Sandboxie 5.31.6 x64 • Browser (each with its own sandbox, cleared on exit): Firefox 70 x64, Internet Explorer 11, Pale Moon 26.5.0 x86 • Eset Internet Security 13

  • After testing, only SandboxieInstall-527-1 can be used normally. SandboxieInstall-527-2 and later versions are not normal. What is the reason? Can you consider the release version for IE11 alone? After all, IE11 users are very, very large, and can't always use this.

  • Hi li wang, 

    We are aware of the issue. If/when a fix is a available, it will be posted for everybody . 

    The problem started -again- with Windows 10 1809 (or higher) and Sandboxie 5.27.2 , but this is not a new issue, it comes and goes as Microsoft makes changes.

    Thanks!

  • Update:

    This issue was addressed in beta 5.31.2 

     


    All,

    I have a suggestion for a possible workaround, aside from the previously provided one (so far I've tested 2 diff win 1809 (x86 and 64) and they both worked fine). 

    Launch IE in the Sandbox as administrator --> tabs should open within the browser. 

    So right-click on IE --> Run Sandboxed --> Check the "Run as UAC Administrator box" 
    Test opening new tabs.

    Hope those steps help while the devs investigate the issue.

    Regards,
