When i try to run a report Run-> View report -> As PDF (or anything else), a window(parameter selection page) with parameters should appear in order to complete them, but instead of those parameters, it appears an empty page, so the report doesn't want to run.

Created attachment 239303 [details] Workaround When having IE11 installed then the parameter screen is blanks. You can right-click on the blank screen and see that there is an embedded web browser showing a blank page. When selection "View source" from the context menu in the blank parameter screen there is HTML content which just does not get rendered. Specifying an external browser in the eclipse preferences does not resolve the problem. What does resolve the problem is installing firefox next to internet explorer and then use the preview section of the birt preferences and select "always use external browser" This is a workaround. BIRT's parameter screen should work with of the major browsers.
Your solution does not work. It does not work with Chrome or Firefox.

(In reply to Alfred Wynn from comment #7) > Your solution does not work. It does not work with Chrome or Firefox. Please note that this is not a solution. Just a dirty configuration hack. Please try the following: Open Eclipse preferences and open General/Web Browser set the flag "use external web browser" and check "Firefox" in the list Then set the preference as indicated in the attachment and try again.
Try to add those two lines in your BIRT.ini file just after -vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx256m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m 1) With compatibility mode -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=ie,mozilla -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.IEVersion=7000 2) Without compatibility mode -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=ie,mozilla -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.IEVersion=9999 It worked for me : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=422056
I added the 2 Dorg lines to my eclipse configuration setting file. I tried the suggested workaround and still I get the blank parameters dialog. My Eclipse version is 3.7.1 I had no issues for a long time and now it does not work. My 3 co-workers do not have this issue. We're all on the same version of Eclipse, same Maximo versions. We all have IE11 and Firefox on our machines too. Any assistance is appreciated.
ME too , birt 4.3.1 previewer report is blank , on google chrom(80.0.-lasted) and Edge ...
