I only use homebox on my home page and so far this only appears to be happening with Chrome and only when I first go to site. It's almost like a cache issue or something not loading or clearing properly.

Any suggestion? Also wondering if you could reply to the support request I posted almost 3 months ago here? http://drupal.org/node/1407056

I love this module, but not if I can't get it to work or get assistance.

Thanks

Still no help? Do you need money or some other help to maintain this awesome module? It's slowly becoming less awesome because no help is available....thanks

Is this module maintained? Do I need to provide more information? Thanks

I'm also seeing this on a site where we have largish images in homebox blocks. This can be consistently reproduced by force-refreshing a page so that the images aren't pulled from the browser cache.

This seems to occur due to image loading: the Drupal.homebox.equalizeColumnsHeights() function is invoked before images are loaded. Then when images are loaded the boxes need to be resized to fit the images into the flow, but the Drupal.homebox.equalizeColumnsHeights() is not called again.

I'm wondering why Drupal.homebox.equalizeColumnsHeights() is needed at all; if I remove the call, it still appears to work. I'm just afraid of breaking something, so perhaps one of the authors can chime in?

This seems related to issue #991730: Blocks of variable size do not resize column when they change, by the way

Great insight on 5, I added this to the homebox.js and it worked! Basically just calling it once more on window load.

  $(window).load(function () {
  Drupal.homebox.equalizeColumnsHeights()
  });

Hi Kevron,

Could you tell us where in homebox.js you added those lines?

Thanks

I have tried all suggested solutions and the only one that works is the one mentioned by Peter where you remove all mention of Drupal.homebox.equalizeColumnsHeights() from the Homebox.js file, and I haven't come accross any other problems since applying this change a few days ago. Thanks!

Please create a new Drupal 8+ (3.0.x) issue, referencing this one, if this is still relevant for Drupal 8+ (3.0.x).

As this issue was created for Drupal 7 which is close to EOL and won't receive any new features here anymore (unless someone implements them or sponsors development) I'm closing this issue for cleanup now.

If anyone works on this or has a solution, feel free to reopen! :)
Thank you.
