Bug Description

Evergreen 2.2.1
Staff Client

We have been getting reports that various links in the staff client have been opening in Internet Explorer. This includes the OPAC, patron editor and Item Status > Actions for selected > Edit Items. For obvious reasons the last one gives the error "Internet explorer can't load copy_editor"

This does not happen on all machines but I've had at least 6 reports out of 42 libraries.

c:\Program Files\Evergreen Staff Client 2.2\components\forceexternal.js fixes this problem.

Are you saying "removing it fixes the problem" or some change/update to it does?
