397705 - Bugzilla developer's guide doesn't display properly in IE6

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: bugzilla.org, defect)

Description

[Kevin Benton]

When I look at the Bugzilla developer's guide in IE6, it presents a large amount of whitespace above "Developer's Guide".  This does not happen, however, in Firefox.  From looking at the page source, it looks like one of the <div> tags may  not have been closed correctly.

Okay. If you find out the problem, feel free to point it out to me or submit a patch.

The culprit is line 360 in http://www.mozilla.org/css/base/content.css:

	code {
		white-space: nowrap;
	}

'nowrap' seems to prevent the text to be besides the left menu, and makes the text to start below the left menu instead. Removing this line fixes the problem on IE6. As we have no control on this file (its header says fantasai is the maintainer), we can override it by adding:

code {white-space: normal;}

in http://www.bugzilla.org/css/bugzilla.css, which we can control.


Just for fun, and unrelated to this bug, did you already look at the bottom of bugzilla.css? If not, you should; it's scary. :)

I can remove that line from content.css if that's wanted.

  I'm not sure what else that would affect, so it's probably safer to just fix bugzilla.css.

  By the way, nice work on that, LpSolit! :-)

  And I wrote that stuff at the bottom of bugzilla.css. :-) Yes, it's quite scary. :-) A good reason to fix bug 75375. :-)
