various components not working

[janson12]

Hi,
the app i'm currently working on includes some richfaces components such as suggestionbox, calendar and fileupload. mostly those components work fine and contribute to comfortable user interaction. however sometimes they do not work in the sense that they do not popup. sometimes they work after reloading the page (FF and IE 7), whereas some of my rich:calendars do not work at all (safari 3). any ideas???

every case should be carefully explained to became a bug.

Sorry for the delay. i heavily doubt that it is a bug. Anyway, here's an example scenario: the user can reRender a panel via drop down menu . The rerendered area in this case has a suggestionbox and two calendars to define a time range. The whole thing looks (a bit simplified) like this:

<h:form id="selectionForm">
<t:saveState value="#{myBean}" id="myBean"/>
 <rich:panel header="Analysis" >
 <h:panelGrid >
 <h:selectOneMenu value="#{myBean.targetView}" >
 <f:selectItems value="#{myBean.analysisCriteriaList}" />
 <a4j:support event="onchange" action="#{myBean.loadView}" reRender="ajaxArea"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>

 <rich:panel >
 <h:panelGrid columns="2" >
 <h:outputText value="#{analyze_msg.personalNumber}"/>
 <h:panelGroup>
 <h:inputText id="persNumber" value="#{myBean.employeeNumber}"/>
 <a4j:region>
 <rich:suggestionbox id="suggestionBoxCC" for="persNumber" fetchValue="#{result.number}"
 suggestionAction="#{OrgaEditPerson.autocomplete}" var="result" height="150" width="250"
 nothingLabel="#{analyze_msg.no_item_found}"
 eventsQueue="personQueue" >
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{result.number}" />
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{result.name}" />
 </h:column>
 </rich:suggestionbox>
 </a4j:region>
 </h:panelGroup>
 <h:panelGroup/>
 <rich:spacer height="12" />
 <h:outputText value="#{analyze_msg.date_from}:" />
 <rich:calendar value="#{myBean.fromDate}"
 datePattern="#{myBean.datePatternDefault}"/>
 <h:outputText value="#{analyze_msg.date_to}:" />
 <rich:calendar value="#{myBean.toDate}"
 datePattern="#{myBean.datePatternDefault}"/>
 </h:panelGrid>
 </rich:panel>
 <a4j:commandButton value="#{analyze_msg.button_analyze}" action="#{myBean.analyze}" reRender="ajaxArea"/>
 </h:panelGrid>
 </rich:panel>
</h:form>

As i said it works properly in 9 out of 10 times but sometimes the pop up components seem to be locked. This occurs only once at the beginning -after a of the respective page all components (even those on other pages) work as expected.
