What is this? A none-too-subtle spreadFirefox movement ?

On IE (6.2, WinXP.SP2 etc) the forum comments behave totally oddly.
Whilst it appears the select bug has been addressed :-)
It's been replaced with other oddities like
- not being able to focus the textarea (intermittantly),
- random page cropping and peek-a-boo bugs
- and not being able to find the submit button.

As per usual, these bugs can be hard to replicate, and depend somewhat on my browser resize.

I know it's all just the accursed IE renderer, but
- It's not a good look for a CMS system to have its flagship unusable
- I've never seen other sites apart from Drupal ones that have these sort of wacked out issues.

With all kudos to the redesign team, and shudders at the thought of just where in the CSS things are going so yuck, um, this is a problem.

.dan.

(I could only even submit this issue by finding the submit button with tab - it was on the page (this time) but not responding to mouse clicks!

I can't say anything for IE, but Safari 2.0.3 as well has problems. Here's one screenshot...

and here's the pager. I also tested the site with other browsers, and it works great with Firefox 1.5, Opera 8.52 and Camino 1.0 (all Mac, of course).

I am using FireFox 1.5 and the Druplicon logo is shifted the same way as in screenshot01.jpg above.

So it is not an IE conspiracy, more of a general issue.

Drupal.org is totally jacked up when I try to use IE 6. I had to download Firefox in order to be able to submit an issue. Numerous hyperlinks are not working to include: links on the modules page, the Next link on the Create Content page, the attach files link on the submit issue page. The preview and submit buttons to submit an issue don't even display.

In Firefox 1.5 preview of a new comment that I was submitting at http://drupal.org/node/56014 did not actually provide a preview of the comment, but only the comment form fields.

Also, when I submitted the issue at that same node, I attached a file (event.install) to the post, but it did not display in the post. I attached the file again in the comment, and it posted in the comment, but as event_0.install. So apparently the file did upload, it just didn't get displayed.

(And just now when I clicked preview before submitting this comment, there wasn't any actual preview provided, just the form fields for submitting the issue.)

The pager looked like #2 and the Drupal logo was displaced in Opera 8.52 until a forced page reload. After that, the site behaved fine layout wise.

The logo issue is a cache issue, the actual logo file has changed.

The logo, issue search bar and pager now work fine in Safari. The only remaining bugs I can find are in the main page, where the bottom border and corners of the download block don't show up, and the fact that at 1024x768 full screen every page has a horizontal scrollbar, totally not needed.

Um, This is still a critical issue.
It seems 2/3 of most pages are only accessable via tabbing - the mouse clicks are badly disabled in IE6 for no good reason, and the bottom navs and submit buttons especially are peek-a-booing all over the place.

Is someone on this?

No idea if somebody is looking into it and what the reason might be.

Steven is the one true theme guy...I think he is in finals right now, so unless someone else picks up the torch and starts fixing CSS stuff, there ain't anyone.

I would love to look into this, but would like some pointers (changelog, CVS diffs or anything else) and a copy of bluebeach.

I have a strong feeling that this is caused by an ugly combination of the peekaboo bug, the border box model and the JS textarea resizer. That latter gives me the same "chopped off" look in konq as you see on http://drupal.org/files/issues/screenshot02.jpg . I hope i can solve this with the first two issues.
