Following issues are common on all 3 versions of component-showcase:

AUtocomplete- the list doesnot appear below the inputText box but in the left corner of the application page

Drag and Drop- the dragged object moves at a certain distance from the mouse, also sometimes two images are seen for the dragged object,
sometimes once the an object is dragged it disappears from the top panel and sticks at the bottom of the page. it can be dragged
and dropped from the new position now

Effect- the type of effect is not readable

GMaps- if show control is unchecked the Gmaps image grows in size and covers most of the application page
when an address is typed in teh inputtext box it is shown correctly but then if the user drags the map the address popup stays on the same
location although the map underneath it has changed to some other place.
also the content inside the address popup (city name) drags when teh map is dragged and finally disappears from the popup
not able to use teh arrows or the + - sign on the scale.

Media- click on any option in media let it start, not click on anotehr component(MenuBar) the media screen still covers the content on MenuBar as
a result user cannot interact with the new component (menubar)
reloading the page resolves the issue though

Menu Popup - if user selects hightlight effect first it doesnot work
select shake effect(works) the select highlight effect it still doesnot work
select shake effect(works) then select pulsate effect(works),now select highligh effect (this time the hightlight effect works)

RichText - run time error occurs when user switches between deafuly mode and basic mode.

Static Tabset - check boxes are not aligned properly

PopupPanel - when Modal popup is displayed is the user scrolls down on the page the modal popup styling is lost and the application is usable ( can change the component) even though modal popup is being displayed on the page.

Component-showcase (JSP version only)
Locale - once a language is changed ( german or spanish or english) the application is navigated to default page and none of the
component can be opened (displayed) any more.
reloading the page displayes "javax.faces.FacesException: Can't read stream for /showcase.jspx"
the server has to be restarted inorder to access the application again

Component-showcase (Facelets-enhs only)
Collapsible panel - cannot type in the input text box reload resolves the problem

Address & AuctionMonitor were fine, no issues found.
