Details

Layout looks quite weired, when flyspray is opened in Internet Explorer 6.0 or 7.0. Both versions result in the same wrong layout.
Example: Management Tools screen is shifted down to the bottom of the page. The Menu is on its correct position.

FS#937 - New fancy layout for 1.0
Comment by Florian Schmitz (Floele) - Monday, 12 February 2007, 17:14 GMT+2

Unfortunately we didn’t get anyone yet into our team who is working on the layout. I really don’t intend to waste hours of my time for such problems. We’ll hopefully have one for 1.0... but until that happens I don’t see such problems fixed soon.

BTW, I cannot even reproduce your problem with IE7. If you want something to be fixed, don’t say “result in the same wrong layout” and offer one example. Either you mention all problems or no one will know what problems you are talking about (once there is someone who can fix them).

btw..it renders properply in Opera, Firefox, Konqueror, IE is just broken.

If you want to get this fixed please attach screenshot.

I could post you a screenshot of problem (IE 6.0 Win2k), but I’m not able to add attachement in this task.

Ok Guys, this is weired.
I have tried to make a screenshot, but i cannot reproduce this behavior anymore :-O

IE 7, WinXP seems to work for the moment. I’ll try to reproduce it anyway later this day.
Atm. I cannot because of slow Internet connection.

Cya Guys

In this case, it seems to depend on width of browser window.
If screen of Admin/PM toolbox doesn’t fit into browser window,
main screen (other than upper menu and left menu)
is shifted down to the bottom.

I confirmed at least following issues in IE6 a month ago.

  • shifted screen on Admin/PM toolbox
  • ugly background on roadmap
  • saved search item hidden behind pulldown menu (if project name is long enough)
  • incorrect background color in tasklist cursor column
  • transparent PNG issue

# Sorry, I can’t show screenshot because no Windows machine around me now.

Now you should be able to add attachments. Thanks for the screenshots, but I suppose that these problems will not be fixed until we get a designer in our team and thus a new design for 1.0.

For the “shifted down” block, I had the same issue on one of my web sites when displayed in IE6, a solution for this known IE bug is to add a “height: 1%” property
in the CSS for the bounding block of this zone, create one if there is none, this kind of code worked for me:

XHTML:
...

...

CSS:
.box_container
{

width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: transparent;
display: inline; /* for IE BUG ! */
height: 1%; /* for IE BUG ! */

}

Full working patch welcome. I’m not willing to study all those IE bugs ever again.

Comment by David Home (dhome) - Thursday, 12 April 2007, 13:35 GMT+2

Using the hint above, adding the commented line to Bluey\theme.css fixes* the Project Managers Toolbox Preferences problem in IE6 (XP SP2) and doesn’t affect the Firefox version.

div#toolbox {
	margin-left:150px;
	min-height:350px;
	height:1%;  /* Fix for IE bug */
}

*There is still a problem of the Preferences block dropping down below the ToolboxMenu when you reduce the width of the IE6 browser to less than the Input fields - but this is a considerable improvement.

Couldnt see this mentioned.

IE7 on XP SP2 will not render the LF / CRs at all for either the Description or comment fields. Consequently all text is just one chunk. Works correctly on firefox
