Strange behaviour when clicking the type icon selects the row instead of opening PDF
The tale end of last year I came across this issue when prototyping a system. I had a clean build of SharePoint 2010 with SP1, just using a standard team site. I uploaded some pdfs and was about to demostrate opening PDFs from the document library and the link failed to work.
Clicking the icon in Type column is highlighting the item instead of launching the document
After some research I found this KB article
SharePoint 2010: Clicking the icon in Type column is highlighting the item instead of launching the document http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2457975
The article describes the problem and a fix to add a file called “fldtypes_docicon.xsl” into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\template\layouts\XSL. Content of the file is detailed in the KB article.
I deployed the file which resolved the issue … was glad I only had two servers in the environment (have to manually copy the file to the servers).
