Symptoms

After initiating Invoice Approval, the approver receives a notification to approve or reject the invoice. If an attachment exists, user should be able to open and view the attachment for that invoice. However, when trying to open the attachment, nothing happens (e.g., no 'spinning wheel', no time-out page, etc.).  It is also discovered that from the "View Additional Invoice Detail" screen, none of the other buttons within that page are functional: Approve button, Reject button, and the Supplier Contact magnifying glass icon.    Occasionally, the following error may occur:
