771685 - WYSIWYG extends to bottom edge of viewport, somewhat disorienting

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Wiki pages, defect, P2)

Description

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

The bottom of the WYSIWYG extends past the bottom edge of the viewport. Not sure why, but I find this to be very disorienting.

In particular, I always get confused while scrolling -- the browser scrollbar moves, the WYSIWYG chrome stays in place, and the text within the WYSIWYG moves. It seems minor, but it always throws me off for a second or two.

See screenshots.

I agree. Not a launch priority, however.

Can't imagine how bug 780180 can be solved without this being solved. So I am marking this as a dupe.

Need to correct my four-months-ago self. It looks like removing the plugin did not fix this issue. Any idea David?

Annoying question but did he/we/she/ clear cache?

Comment 7

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

Does not change when I clear cache, but I bet you already knew that. Are the other dependencies of bug 780180 also still an issue until the build= prefix is added?

Comment 8

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

For what it's worth, I still don't see this change, even after clearing my cache in my browser.

I'll have another look, gentlemen.

Gentleman David Walsh, is this now fixed?

[David Walsh :davidwalsh]

I have a PR in to put the scrolling things back, so I have no idea.  Let me know when it's merged and pushed.

It seems this changed slightly a while back. I don't find the scrollbar behavior to be quite as confusing as it was before. Regardless, this change can't be made in isolation (we tried) and is part of a larger discussion on how the WYSIWYG works, so it probably doesn't make sense for this to be a discrete bug. Closing.
