Title: L / R Panels Not Expanding Properly in Firefox
Post by: archiebald on April 11, 2007, 09:57:04 AM
I am not sure if this is just me, also not sure if it is a Firefox, SMF or TP issue - can anyone else confirm

1. Shrink the right and / or left panels using the "upshrink" button
2. Exit Firefox
3. Open Firefox again
4. Click the upshrink buttons to restore the panels

SMF 1.1.2 Default Theme
TP 0.983
Right panel 170 pixels, left panel 300 pixels, TP width set to 0 pixels (100%)
No front page is set, index page is straight into the forum
Firefox 2.0.03

The panels are really squished up, approximately 50 to 90 pixels, depending on content.  This can be cleared by refreshing the browser page.

Doesn't happen if the panels were left expanded in the last browser session.
Doesn't happen if the panels are shrunk then expanded in the same browser session
Doesn't happen in IE7

Happens on at least 2 different computers.

Not earth shattering, just an annoyance.

Cant duplicate it on any of my sites.
Do you have any other mods installed that change the index.template.php file and the layout ?

And are this from a clean install or from upgrades of previous installs of TP and SMF ?
I know this have been talked about before, but it was fixed for this last release of TP.
SO if you have upgraded, make sure you have all the files replaced with the new ones in the package.

This is on an upgraded site, I had SMF1.1.1 and TP 0.97 on it but uninstalled TP before upgrading.

The only other mods are  Favicon and Users Online Today.  I can't imagine either of these making an issue but I'm certainly no expert.

They should not interfear, but if you have upgraded, make sure you HAVE the latest fles in your folders.
One thing to start with is to download the manual install package, and upload all the files from that package and make sure they DO overwrite the old ones.

I've seen some themes do this. I recall it being brought up before and Bloc pretty much said there's not much you can do about the browser not being able to expand the content, especially if its fixed on a refresh.

I've seen this many times. It will happen if you flip a sidebar up, click something and then unflip it. F5 will restore the width.
