Description

Hi Guys,

First of all I would like to thank you for this great product, it is extremely useful.

However I ran across a problem with Firefox on a large differential. Sometimes when I make large commits I change lots of code, and if there is too much changes it looks like it gets cut off in firefox. Everything shows fine in I.E. except that the scroll boxes don't work.

I've attached a picture of the problem as well

This same issues occurs on the "Overall Activity" if there is a lot of activity.
It works in IE but not Firefox.

For me, it isn't a Redmine bug, but a Firefox bug.

You could post your bug report here : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ with the html page and a screenshot.

No this is definitely a bug with this application. I even have a fix for it.

In \public\stylesheets\application.php

.autoscroll {overflow-x: auto; padding:1px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;}

Change to

.autoscroll {overflow-x: auto; padding:1px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; max-height: 1000px; }

You fail to give it a max-height, or even a height so not only does it render it at full in IE and other browsers and as such renders the feature useless but firefox's gecko engine thinks that it's a problem in it's engine, and the smart code it try's to be, cuts off.

I've put in place and tested this fix on our own dev redmine server. It would definately be helpful to see this go into the redmine svn.

Ryan, your fix doesn't work for me.

IMHO, it's not the role of the browser to decide if displaying the page is useles or not. I don't think W3C states so.
And note that with no css applied, firefox will also render the page at full.

but firefox's gecko engine thinks that it's a problem in it's engine, and the smart code it try's to be, cuts off.

It's more like a workaround than a feature of the engine.

Ryan, your fix doesn't work for me.

Then all I can say is that your not doing it or testing it right. It definately successfully resolved any problems I had with viewing the differential page in firefox.

That's all I, or any user, cares about. Is that it works point black. People simply aren't going to use your product if you can't properly support Firefox.

I do my best to support Firefox. It's fixed in r2118.
I've also added an option to limit the number of diff lines that can be displayed (r2112).
