If the Alinks is for a string of words and they appear at the beginning of a line a space will appear where the link icon should be.

Stretching the screen width so that the first word now appears on the line above causes the link icon to reappear after the first word but before the rest of the words in the link. Stretching the screen further causes the link icon to move to the end of the next word as it moves up a line ,until all words are on one line and link is where it is supposed to be.

If you shrink the screen and force another word in front of the link string the icon will appear in the correct place.

I assume this is down to the link spanning two lines and may not be fixable ?

I will post screens in a day or two. We have just found an issue where new nodes are not seen by anonymous users even though published. Trying to determine cause which means we are rolling the database back 1 day at a time. The last time we know it was good was before Alinks and Views Alpha pager were installed, but we need to see if we adjusted any setting that may also have caused an issue

Just a wild guess, do you have taxonomy access installed? If you do try to disable it and see if that solves the problem.

I found my fix to the access problem at http://drupal.org/node/20397#comment-111175 appears that adding or deleting a module cause the issue, but not exactly sure what or which module, i am just pleased enough its working :)

So back to the issue in hand.

I have 4 screenshots of the link as it moves below

As to the icon dissapearing when the word is at the beginning of the line, I was not able to reproduce it on my test page. The segment of the page I get it on iis below, you can see the space where the icon belongs. It is possible that the single colum table which is justified to right of screen causes the issue as soon as the screen width changes as above the icon reappears.

Hope this helps

This is a css problem. I use the image as a background to the link. I think I might change the way I do this.

I suggest that to overcome this problem you actually render the image inside the link. I don't see any problem with this, and given that you're not actually changing the content, it should be ok. The only likely issue is that someone will want to override the CSS, and in that case they will then be forced to override the image instead.

Maybe you could offer a choice of the two, with a path to the inline image (representing my suggestion)?

Otherwise I think you might face continued problems with this...
