Owyn Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 When you receive a pop-up notification of a PM and select the "Open In This Window" option the pop-up dialog resizes and brings you to the inbox and from there to the message.First Problem. If you are in Galeon and have Pop-Ups set to open in Tabs then the display only consumes the left 2/3 of the window (in my case at 1024x768) and the right third is just the background colour. The width is the same width as the window would be if pop-ups in tabs was not set.Second Problem: If you reply to the PM the reply dialog box extends past the visible portion of the window. This is very confusing.This can be easily tested by sending a PM to yourself.I have tested this problem in Galeon, Mozilla, and Konqueror from stock updated Mandrake 9.1.

Owyn Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 Update: Something was nagging at me and I re-tested Konqueror.It does handle the situation properly. A horizontal scroll bar is available for the message window and zoom fixes the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owyn Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 And again. Re-tested Mozilla. It does not have a horizontal scroll bar but zoom does fix the problem. still an initially confusing dispaly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I have to admit I'm not totally clear on the problems you're having. I'm using Firebird, and have http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com set as exempt from popup suppression, and all works fine. I suspect you're suffering from browser settings issues. I don't think the problem is board related, per se. Can you get a screen shot to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owyn Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 It gets worse. The problem now seems to have fixed itself in Galeon. I am no longer typing blindly into the left side of the window.I have been having some other Galeon specific problems, and Bruno's impression and my own, is that I "have a buggy browser". Will be updating to latest stable shortly.Kill the trouble ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
