When I open some screens and try to click on something it jumps to another part of the screen. Takes many attempts sometimes to select something because it keeps jumping to other lines.
That sounds odd, is it random screens? Are you using the Kinetic UI or the old Classic? Have a screen shot you could share?
Additional questionsāyou mention āsome screensā. What screens? Is it exclusive to those? Do they have customizations on them? If so, does it work okay in base?
If using the new UX, are you using the embedded browser from the smart client or are you using the web based one?
Iāve seen that happen in just about every Kinetic form that loads records past the retrieval limit, which I think is 50 records. This is a screen recording of a BAQ Grid from my homepage.
Scroll down to the point more records are loaded, click a record such that it is highlighted with a border, then click another record. Itāll jump to the bottom. It is annoying behavior but we just deal with it.
We are currently running 2022.2.9 on-prem. Aiming to jump to 2023 as soon as possible.
If thatās what it is, then thatās fixed in 2023.
It doesnāt sound like it, though.

Hereās another video of the behavior where I got it to happen more consistently.
Highlight a record at the top, then click a record at the bottom. Itāll jump to another position with each subsequent click until you reach the bottom.
Iām sorry but I donāt have a workaround. This one bugs me too.
Weāve seen it consistently in Part Entry and Part Tracker (if you enter a new part number while in the main page, it skips down half-way or so); in Receipt Entry (when you receive a 2nd or 3rd line on a pack slip and click Save, it jumps back to the Line 1 screen), and most search grids (as you mention).
According to Epicor Support, this is fixed as part of a āgeneral framework fixā in 2023.1. I havenāt personally tested them all yet, but anecdotally the two specific ones I mention above are both working correctly now.

Iāve been in those screens a lot in 2021, 2022, and 2023 and have never seen that.
Is this more cloud chicanery?
I ran into this last night with a dashboard I made.
Itās basically unusable, because this dashboard canāt be paged, and has 3700 items in it.
You can imagine the jumping.
If you hold your mouth just right and triple click when itās not looking you can make it work inconsistently.
Itās fantastic.
Edit: Havenāt tried in 2023.1 yet.

Just upgraded to 2023 when I got back, they are doing UAT on it now. Hope to hear itās working okay!
This was actually an on-prem customer, using the Kinetic interface from the Smart Client (and consistent through at least 2022.2.8-12). There was a single UD field on the Part/Part Tracker, and no customizations on Receipt Entry. Epicor Supportās reply to our ticket was basically, yeah, we know, we mostly re-wrote the entire foundation for 2023.
They upgraded last week. Iām in a session with them later today, Iāll test both of those screens and let yāall (I live in SC now) know what happens.

Thanks Ernie!
I think Iāve made a solution with all the junk I need to test in 2023.1.
Iāll let yāall know my results in a few hours. (Kiddo Dr Appointment)

Itās improved, but far from fixed.
Iām not sure if you can see what I want to show, but here is 2022.2.11 vs 2023.1:
2022.2.11
2023.1
Yeah still jumpy from what I could observe, yeah?
2023.1.4, on-prem, Kinetic UX from Smart Client
Part Master - works flawlessly.
Part Tracker - select a part number from the landing page, then manually type a DIFFERENT part number into the field and hit TABā¦ screen jumps down to the next panel.
There IS a customization here (an additional panel with a bunch of UD fields), but itās the same customization on both Part and Part Tracker and I didnāt have a chance to remove the customization and try again.
Didnāt have a chance to test Receipt Entry either. Should also probably test them from Kinetic UX in the browser.
