695337 - Wrong page layout in Bluefish MediaWiki page (http://bfwiki.tellefsen.net/) (navigation menu moved down)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Other, defect)

Description

[Dirk Kussin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0a2) Gecko/20111018 Firefox/9.0a2
Build ID: 20111018042826

Steps to reproduce:

Load page (e.g.)

http://bfwiki.tellefsen.net/index.php/Main_Page

Same problem with similar wiki-pages (but seems not to affect original Wikipedia itself).



Actual results:

The layout of the left navigation border / frame is wrong. The text in it starts too far below, actually below the end of the text in the right frame.

This error appears in Aurora 9.0a2 (from today, and also earlier) on Linux x86_64 (my version is from Launchpad for Ubuntu Natty), but ALSO in my Android version Aurora 9.0a2 downloaded directly from Mozilla. FF v8.0 (beta) is fine, both on Linux x86_64 and Android. 


Expected results:

The text in the left navigation frame should begin on top.

To determine browser, Navigator.taintEnabled() is used in bfwiki.tellefsen.net/skins/common/wikibits.js?207

I think this is TE.

Let's translate this:
TE means "Tech Evangelism". This is not a bug in Gecko/Firefox and has to be fixed by the affected page.

The problem is apparently:
In bug 679971 support for the "Navigator.taintEnabled()" methode was removed.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Firefox_8_for_developers#DOM
But the affected page uses it to detect Firefox (this was always bad code and strikes back now)

Dirk, can yo contact the affected page and refer to this bug report please?

Comment 5

[j.j.]

(Note that the documentation for Fx 8 is IMHO wrong, should be Fx 9. Will clarify that)

What does it mean, that the problem has to be fixed by the page? Fact is, that until FF 8.0 there was not this problem (with these pages), and now with v9.0 I found several similar pages which are affected in this way (but not before).

I'll take this. Filed a bug against MediaWiki:

(Waiting what happens in bug 679971 before reporting to Bluefish. They should update their MediWiki installation on
  http://bfwiki.tellefsen.net/index.php/Main_Page
anyway)
