Issues that this cumulative update package fixes

• When you change the color of a Gantt Chart bar on the Project Web Apps Gantt Chart Formats page, the bar color may be displayed incorrectly.
  
• When you apply a fill pattern to a Gantt Chart bar on the Project Web Apps Gantt Chart Formats page, the bar pattern may be displayed incorrectly. For example, you have a solid pattern and the bar color is yellow, which appears correctly. When you apply a cross-hatch pattern, the bar color is displayed as blue instead of yellow.
  
• When you change the start date or the end date of a fiscal period on the Fiscal Periods page in Project Web App, the date is not changed. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
  Project Web App fiscal periods are not allowed to have duplicate names, gaps or overlaps between adjoining period start and end dates, or overlaps between adjoining fiscal years.
