Font Awesome icons disappear in IE11 refresh

[geekgrl1337]

Hi,

We recently upgraded our PF to 7.0.1. It's causing an issue in IE11 where Font Awesome icons disappear on page refresh (F5). We tested the PF Babylon showcase and saw that the icons were NOT disappearing as they do in our app. We're also not able to find anything related to this in the forums. Is this a known issue? Has it been resolved in a patch? And can you let us know what you've done to resolve it?

Primefaces: 7.0.1
Tomcat: 8.5.39
Java: 1.8.0_162
Browser: IE11

Thanks for your assistance!

Cheers, Anne

Hi,

Is this a known issue?

- No, I tested https://www.primefaces.org/babylon/ on IE11 but I couldn't replicate it. Could you please attach your sample page and a test video for us? Also, do you get an error on console?

Best Regards,

We removed Font Awesome from Primefaces and are accessing it directly and that fixed it, five lines of code, easy.

The fix is detailed here: viewtopic.php?f=98&t=57813

Be sure to use Melloware's shim so you don't have to change any fonts in your app:

If you want to use FA5, please examine the above attached link. PrimeFaces contains FA4 version.
