Resolution
This should be fixed for GroupWise 7 SP2
In the meantime it is possible to manually fix the issue - there are 2 possible solutions:
The first is a fix in the properties files- it is more extensive if there are multiple languages installed, but less risky if something goes wrong. The second is a fix to the template- much simpler, but, if not done right, may affect functionality. The fix in SP2 will use the template approach.

Note: files to be modified are in the css template directory
Approach 1 - Modify properties file(s)
Approach 2 - Modify template file

Approach 1 - Modify properties file(s)
- Â Open CssResources_en.properties file in an editor.
- Â Locate the string "Login.Image.AltText.login"
- Â Remove all the comment text in front of"Login.Image.AltText.login" so that the line reads"Login.Image.AltText.login=Login"
- Â Save the file
- Â For multilingual installations (otherwise, skip to 12): Open CssResources_xx.properties file in an editor, where xx represents a language code.
- Â Locate the string "Login.Image.AltText.login".
- Â Remove all the comment text in front of"Login.Image.AltText.login" so that the line reads"Login.Image.AltText.login=Login"
- Â Locate the string "Login.Button.login" (should be 15 to 20 lines above Login.Image.AltText.login)
- Â Copy the text from Login.Button.login (e.g. if German- de- then the text to copy would be "Anmelden") and use it to replace the text "Login" for Login.Image.AltText.login (e.g."Login.Image.AltText.login=Login" would become"Login.Image.AltText.login=Anmelden").
- Â Save the file
- Â Repeat steps 5-10 for each language properties file
- Â Restart Tomcat
Approach 2 - Modify template file
- Â Open the abaccum.htt template file in an editor
- Â Locate the string "Login.Image.AltText.login" (occurs only once) and replace it with "Login.Button.login"
- Â Save the file and restart Tomcat
