OTCS 20.3 smart view header message persists despite being set to not permanently display

J Brown

In OTCS 20.3 the smart view header message persists despite being set to not permanently display.

I have set the smart view config setting as unchecked for header messages. The header persists when you add a document and doesn't go away until closing via the X.  On other actions, the header automatically disappears - in a folder click the select box on an item and in the top menu click Copy Link. The header message opens for about 10 secs and closes.

Document upload shows a progress bar at first, which will "converted" to the global message after the operation has succeeded. These code paths are separate and that is why there was a bug in one of them. It is fixed in the upcoming 20.4 release (bug LPAD-86937).

The messages are supposed to disappear if the permanent flag is unchecked in the global Smart View settings and if the user did not enable Accessible Mode in their user profile settings in Smart View. Also, if there is a link to the target location in the global message, it will not disappear.

The current code lets the global messages disappear after 5 seconds. This delay is not configurable.
