"Fix Pane Height and Use Scrollbars" Display Issues

Is this going to be addressed anytime soon? This was my preferred method of viewing Mint, but it is currently unusable. Third party peppers display as a complete mess in this view. I would prefer not to have to wait for each third party developer to fix a visual bug that was introduced with the new version if there is a quick edit that we as users can do to fix the problem.

Also, even the new peppers that Shaun released with 2.0 have display issues in this view.

  • The Feed graphic in Crushes and Referrers covers text in each of these peppers. It either needs some space added at the bottom of the pepper pane to accommodate or it should be moved up into the pepper title bar.

  • In Referrers >Newest Unique, the pane scrolls right to left as well as up and down.

  • In Crushes >Most Recent, there are multiple text alignment issues.

  • In User Agents, there are text alignment issues for info in all tabbed sections.

What browser/platform/version are you seeing these issues in? The only issue you’ve described that I can reproduce is in the offset text in the Browser/Reader tabs of UA007 and that is due to a limitation of CSS in Safari.

The single pixel overlap of the Feed button also occurs when “Fix pane height” is disabled and what I would consider acceptable since the “When” text is still readable.

Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing?

I am using Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8.

Here is an image I put together that compares several peppers in scrollbars mode with their non-scrollbars counterparts.

I marked some alignment issues. Scroll to the very bottom for an example of two third party peppers.

Here the same… It happens with Firefox 2.0 and Opera 9.10 (Windows). Another screenshot.

Any further response on this matter? Should I assume that this has been logged? Is this something you intend to fix at some point?

I hate to bump this topic, but I am really interested in seeing a resolution to this problem.

Boris, this has been fixed as of Mint 2.03. What exactly is the issue? (Screenshot please.)

I could fix the horizontal scrollbar using overflow-x and overflow-y , or by increasing the min-width of a container, or by reducing the length of the text I think.

What browser is that? IE or Firefox. Long lines should be wrapping.
