jthorson commentedLooks like removing the 'position:absolute' on #nav-masthead resolves the issue, and didn't adversely affect IE9, IE8, or Firefox 15.0.1.
Comment #2
jthorson commentedLooking at the sass source files on a D7 dev site, it appears that #nav-masthead has a "position: relative;" value, instead of the "position: absolute" which is appearing on drupal.org.
Furthermore, looking at an old D6 dev site (rfay.redesign), the setting used to be "postion: relative" there too. Looking at a newer dev site (solr-drupal.redesign), it's "position: absolute;".
Can anyone point me to where this got changed, why, and why it's changed back in D7? Even better, can we please just revert it? I realize IE7 is 'unsupported', but having to scroll sideways to click on my dashboard tab for the last month has been really annoying.
Comment #3
ruplNot sure why it changed, but it's not hard to switch back. If someone tends to this before me, it will require two changes:
Maybe some bottom padding on the header too. I will have the ability to test IE7 at work tomorrow.
Comment #4
jthorson commentedJust for clarification, It's the position: absolute which is causing me problems. :)
Comment #5
ruplAh. Then this is already fixed in D7 bluecheese. I'm not sure how to commit to D6 bluecheese.
Comment #6
drumm#1157586: In IE7 and Chrome 21 the tabs dont align with the content area is the change. I think instead we want to specify
left: 0;next tobottom: 0;.Comment #7
jthorson commentedAt least in IE9 running IE7 compatibility mode, 'left: 0' puts the tabs at the far left side of the window, instead of aligned with the rest of the content on the page ... since it's absolutely positioned within the #header element, which spans the full width of the browser window.
Comment #8
jthorson commentedConfirmed that the alignment appears correct on the planned D7 version of the site ... so this issue will go away with the Drupal.org D7 upgrade. (I also noted that the rounded corners disappear from the tabs with the D7 version, but that's a different, and much easier to live with, issue.)
Comment #9
ruplOn the subject of rounded corners in D7 bluecheese, many components will suffer small "regressions" in terms of looks when using an older browser. I put it in quotes because I actually consider it a progression :)
Just so everyone knows, this was a decision made with consensus from the infra team. We're opting to move away from older presentation techniques (like image-based rounded corners) when CSS alone can do the job.
Comment #10
jthorson commentedI'm sorry ... but given the D7 port delays, I'd like to re-open this issue.
If we're now well into the new year with this, I don't think the project should be satisfied just 'living with' this problem. Personal frustration with having to scroll sidewise to click 'dashboard' four times a day at work notwithstanding ... even if IE7 is officially unsupported, the resulting behaviour screams to me that "We don't know to align tabs when building webpages", which is not a very good message to have associated with a project meant for building webpages.
Anyone who IS still using IE7 isn't going to know that the site looks fine in a different browser, and may develop a negative first impression of Drupal based on what could be mis-interpreted as an 'amateurish' issue on the project's home page.
Comment #11
drummThis actually got fixed at some point.
