A new js library was created for newer versions to improve performance and reduce the likely hood that this problem would occur. It was also back ported to a hotfix for SBM 10.1.1.4.
During the installation of SBM, you might receive a message telling to apply a Microsoft hot fix : download and install KB981929 or KB972397 before upgrading.
