Xpages randomly freezing - xpages

In developing Xpages applications I have noticed that the applications will intermittently and apparently randomly freeze. It happens when I am changing code and previewing quite a bit in XPiNC, which I might be able to understand. But at times it happens when I am just editing a document.
For example, I just updated a RT field in a document using CKEditor, and the app froze about 12 or 15 times. I will no longer be able to move the cursor or move scroll bars up or down. I am able to switch to a different tab (like my email) but if I try to switch back to the Xpages app, I will still see the email application.
I have checked the "IBM Technical Support" Folder for the Xpages log and the console log, with nothing there, and I have checked the Help ==> Support Trace and Log, nothing there either.
We are running Revision 20131022.1138 (Release 9.0.1) on the server, and I am running the same on my client and designer.

<form> not posting all of a sudden

I am having a strange issue that I think might be Chrome related but wanted to post here for thoughts.
I have some users who when trying to log into my node.js application, they press enter or the log in button and it just sits and spins and never times out or anything. When looking at the Network tab when this issue occurred the POST never showed up. I then put some alerts on the button click with javascript and as long as the button was in the tag nothing showed up.
Completely deleting the users' profile (suggestion from Google) made it work...until chrome updated and then it happened again.
Using any other browser, no issues. Chrome Beta, the issue shows up. Chrome Canary, I have had 2 users testing for over a week and they have not seen the issue reappear. Incognito has the issue occur as well.
Google Support asked me to send a HAR file to them. The interesting thing was when I opened up developer tools, went to the network tab and then cleared the screen to start a recording, the issue disappeared for that moment only.
It is working for 80% of my users so I can't see how it could be a coding issue, this is also a login that I created over a year ago and have not touched since.
If anyone has any insights I would love to know what might be causing this.

Acumatica 2018 R2 Mobile - Locks up when attempting to add a new screen

After Summit 2019, we were excited to start working on updates for 2018R2, and I practiced adding mobile screens for our custom modules in my sandbox.
We decided to fully refresh our DEV instance and reapply our customizations. No problem there, but when I try "Add New Screen" in the mobile section and then try to enter my screen number, the mouse goes to "waiting" and I can't add my new screen. Eventually, I get a "timed out" message. Same problem even when trying to add a standard Acumatica screen. Everything else in the project and Acumatica web interface seems to work fine.
Any ideas on where to look for what is preventing adding a new screen?
I'm on Build 18.209.0021.
It seems like an Ajax issue in the customization project editor. After callback to server the client page javascript is stuck waiting on the server response. You can try using Chrome browser which has less of those Ajax hangs and update Chrome if you're already using it.
There is also a known issue specifically affecting 2018 R2 Mobile that leads to generic error Sequence contains no matching element on mobile detail page. Based on your question this doesn't seem to be the issue you are having but you can give the workaround to this bug a try:
Open Generic Inquiry screen (SM208000)
Select FS-ServiceOrder inquiry, uncheck Expose to mobile and save
On Apply Updates screen (SM203510), click on Restart Application
This was identified by Acumatica support as a bug. Upgrade to a new release for the fix.

Glimpse History tab not showing other clients

I recently installed Glimpse and love it. In the video http://getglimpse.com/ it says the history tab is for inspecting requests from other clients hitting the site (when they have Glimpse turned on). When I try it out, I'm only seeing my current client with a count of 25. I've tried logging in from other browsers (on the same machine) with the same username and with different usernames, still only see one entry in the list.
What am I doing wrong?

The entity's form doesn't get updated

I have a HTML file, which I've uploaded as a web resource and linked to via an activity's form designer in an IFRAME. So far, so good.
Then, when I edited the source file locally and uploaded it (browse-save-publish, of course), I got no difference in the appearance on the screen. Here's the weird part. When I open the uploaded file in the editor, I can see the changes to my source code. On the RTF tab I can also see the change in colors of the background.
However, reloading the "create new"-form doesn't bring those changes to the client! I've tried restarting the window, restarting IE, clearing the cache. Nothing helps.
When I entered the very same page from a different client, I got to see the updated version. But after that, the subsequent changes are not updated either. It's like if IE thinks "oh, matey, ya wanna cache that for life, I see". Well, I don't. I'd like to see my edition in action pretty much directly and without creating a new account with a new client. :)
After a while, the update seems to go through and I get to see a new version but not in all browsers.
What is causing it?! How do I kill it?
(Win8/IE10/CRM11OL)
I have seen CRM do some weird IIS Caching. I'd assume this is a server side issue, but your using crm online, they won't let you run an IIS reset now will they? :) Have you tried running it on a new client in private browsing mode, deploying your change, and opening a new private browser to test if it is a client caching issue or a server caching issue?

Sharepoint Services 3.0 CSS not working

Sometimes the style sheet disappears when naviguating on our WSS 3.0 sites (white background on the site, no colors, no formatting, etc.). This has mainly happened with IE6 (corporate browser for the majority of our computers). The fixes were :
clean up temporary internet files
if it still doesn't work, upgrade to IE 7
However, this time, the upgrade to IE 7 hasn't worked, the style sheet isn't applied. When we clean up temporary internet files, things go back to normal, but after a while the css disappears again.
Here are a few ideas on what you could try:
Fiddler should be able to tell you if there is a network problem.
Check the HTML for anything unusual. Is it malformed in any way? Can you save a copy and run it through an online validator (although this is limited in use as SharePoint's default markup isn't compliant).
If some users are having the issues but others aren't, check their permissions on the server.
You could also try using the SharePoint "Log in as another user" feature to see if the problem can be reproduced on your machine when logged in as them. You may also want to try running Internet Explorer as that user.
Check the Event Viewer on both client and server for anything unusual.
Check the IIS logs on the server for any errors.
Check the SharePoint ULS logs on the server in the "12 Hive" for errors that might be related to this problem.
Try running Process Monitor on the client and reproduce the problem. Search for keywords such as FAIL or ERROR to see if anything appears. Make a note of the time the problem occurs and see if the Process Monitor logs give any additional information.
Is there some javascript that's involved as well? Could it be a virus scanner that is set way to strict? As you pointed out in one of the comments, the CSS isn't even being requested (at IIS log level, which is as basic as you get, not even in SHarePoint yet), so it HAS to be something on the client PC.
