- 25373158 - COOKIE NOT SET IN APEX 5.1
This bug can cause unsent cookies and Location redirect headers during login processing. It affects applications with customized login processes that write headers (e.g. a "Remember Me" cookie) or calls to LOGIN/POST_LOGIN in custom authentication sentry functions that stop the APEX engine.

- 25430809 - INVALID BUILD OPTION MAPPINGS AFTER APP IMPORT
The default export option for "Exports with Original IDs" was set to "Yes" in APEX 5.1. This bug fix resets the default back to "No". The bug fix also corrects issues with build options, where export/import caused broken references.

- 25303884 - CLIENT SIDE MESSAGING FAILS TO SUBSTITUTE #IMAGE_PREFIX# IN PAGE-LEVEL ERRORS, CAN AFFECT OLD OR CUSTOM THEMES
If you have a page with page attribute Reload on Submit = 'Only for Success’ then page-level error notifications will be displayed using client side messaging. In old or custom themes it fails to substitute the #IMAGE_PREFIX# substitution string, which can lead to incorrect image references and therefore users perceiving missing images. This does not affect the Universal Theme, because no such images references exist for page-level error messages.
Workaround: You can set the page attribute ‘Reload on Submit’ back to ‘Always’, however, this will preclude you from being able to use an Interactive Grid on that page.
- 25303970 - INLINE ITEM ERRORS FOR OLDER THEMES ARE NOT ALWAYS CLEARED WHEN A PAGE HAS ‘RELOAD ON SUBMIT’ SET TO ‘ONLY FOR SUCCESS’
If an application uses an older theme (not the Universal Theme) and has a page that uses the ‘Reload on Submit’ attribute setting of ‘Only for Success’, then Application Express will use the new client-side messaging to display error messages without a full page reload. However, the label templates in older themes are not compliant with the new client-side messaging logic, which in turn results in some fallback logic being used to display the inline item errors, causing issues with clearing the message. The issue occurs if a page has more than one item error displayed, and then subsequently if only one of those errors is rectified before the next attempt to save, the inline item error message for the rectified error will not be removed as it should be. It is removed from the page error notification, but not from the inline item notification.
Note: Applications using older themes, generally have the page attribute ‘Reload on Submit' set to ‘Always’ so will not face this issue. However, new pages added to existing applications will have the page attribute set to 'Reload on Submit' by default.
Workaround: You can set the page attribute ‘Reload on Submit’ back to ‘Always’, however, this will preclude you from being able to use an Interactive Grid on that page.
- 25305292 - CLIENT SIDE INLINE ERROR MESSAGE FOR RICH TEXT ITEM GIVES JAVASCRIPT ERROR
If you have a Rich Text Editor item that has validations on a page with page attribute Reload on Submit = 'Only for Success' then if there are validation errors to report there will be a JavaScript error that keeps the inline validation message from displaying. This may also affect reporting other errors on the page, and will keep the page from being submitted again.
Workaround: You can set the page attribute ‘Reload on Submit’ back to ‘Always’, however, this will preclude you from being able to use an Interactive Grid on that page.
- N/A - THE TIMEZONE APIS AND CONSTANTS AVAILABLE IN APEX_JSON SHOULD NOT BE USED
APEX_JSON contains new, undocumented APIs and constants for reading and writing TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE values. These APIs and constants are subject to change in later releases, which will likely break any code that utilizes them at this point in time.
Workaround: Do not use the undocumented timezone APIs and constants until they have been documented.
Changed Behavior:
- 25291599 - REGIONS ON GLOBAL PAGES CAN NOW PARTICIPATE IN PAGE-LEVEL REGION DISPLAY SELECTORS
Prior to 5.1, the 'Region Display Selector' attribute of regions on global pages was effectively ignored. In 5.1, this attribute is now used to determine if the region from the global page is displayed in region display selector regions on other pages for the same user interface. The default setting for 'Region DIsplay Selector' is 'Yes', therefore, exisiting pages that include a Region Display Selector are very likely to display additional regions defined on the global page after upgrading. If the global page region can not be visually displayed, for example if it is purely CSS code, then the application will appear broken to end users as clicking on this new selection will result in a blank display.
Workaround: Set the 'Region Display Selector' attribute to 'No' for all regions on the global page that you do not want displayed in region display selectors on other pages.
- N/A - CLIENT-SIDE MESSAGING ISSUES IN APPS USING OLD, OR CUSTOM THEMES
If you create a new application using an old, or custom theme, or add new pages to an existing application which is not using the Universal Theme, then you may encounter minor differences in how inline errors are displayed. This can affect you if either:
1. The page attribute 'Reload on Submit' is set to 'Only for Success' (the default for new pages) and an item validation occurs.
2. The application 'Compatibility Mode' is set to '5.1' and the submit button is set to 'Execute Validations' = 'Yes', and any items have client-side validation such as 'Value Required' = 'Yes', which fail
An inline error is shown but it may not look exactly the same as on other existing pages because it isn't using the templates from the theme.
Workaround: These differences can be a avoided by setting 'Reload on Submit' to 'Always', (Note: Interactive Grid requires this to be set to 'Only for Success') and not using client-side validation by either setting application compatibility mode < '5.1' or Setting Execute Validations = No. The differences can also be avoided by updating the old theme to use the new style of error templates, or by updating the application to use Universal Theme. For further details please review the APEX 5.1 - Client side messaging and apps not using Universal Theme blog post.
- 25247070 - TIE SWITCH TO ASYNCHRONOUS DYNAMIC ACTIONS TO COMPATIBILITY MODE 5.1
In Application Express 5.1 the compatibility mode controls how Ajax-based Dynamic Actions operate, specifically a setting of '5.1' will make all Ajax calls asynchronous. Prior to 5.1, Ajax-based Dynamic Actions that also had the ‘Wait for Result’ attribute set to 'Yes' would issue synchronous Ajax calls. Synchronous calls can have a negative impact by blocking all page interactions until the call has been completed. Dynamic Actions with 'Wait for Result' set to 'No' previously performed asynchronous Ajax calls, therefore, there is no change in behavior for these actions.
This change has been tied to compatibility mode to protect against possible regressions in existing applications, where applications may have relied upon the synchronous Dynamic Actions nature for certain functionality.
Workaround: Remove the reliance on synchronous-based Ajax calls before upgrading the compatibility mode for the application. For more information please see Sync or Async? Dynamic Actions in APEX 5.1. - You may Find the Original Soure here : know bugs oracle 5.1
