Please attach a screenshot and test that this isn't caused by an addon ->

Ok disabled anything and everything and it's still acting up.  I'll bring up the site and the box will be normal until I log in, then itty bitty boxes.

I'm unable to test since the registration always fails with "username taken" and i tried really unusual usernames. Maybe someone else can continue with this report.

Set up an account on the site for helpers to use:

The account is fully activated.

Ok, i think I just solved my issue.  All I did was clear the forum's cookies and the cbox cookies.  Should have tried that before pestering you all.

Comment 7

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

It's a website bug if clearing the cookies made it work again.
I will mark this wfm, please reopen if you get this again

Scratch the above message, I just had it go funky on me again.

And that means what?  
I do/did have .Net Frame work assistant installed before upgrading.

It means that I can not reproduce the reported issue. I logged in with the username/password and the page looked ok.

Mkay, thanks for tying.  I guess I'll just have to find a work around then.

Lovely, just had the shrinky boxes happen on another site I thought had been immune some how.

Did you try opening threads into new windows?  That when it seems to crop up for me.

Your bug is pretty a dupe of bug 652034 (which has been partially fixed).
There is still an issue with Cbox's shoutboxes: the fields for the username and the textarea are not resized correctly after the browser restarted.

I think it depends on the integration on the Cbox shoutbox in the website (IFRAME) and the zoom level in Firefox.

STR:
1) Uncheck "Don't load tabs until selected" in Firefox
2) Open http://kanon81.cbox.ws/ and the testcase I attached
3) Close Firefox
4) Wait for 1-2 min then restart Firefox

Result:
The fields are bad rendered (restest with zoom in if needed).

STR:
1) Open  the testcase  in background tab
2) Wait for 1 minute
3) Switch the tab of 1)

The offending code is in http://static.cbox.ws/js/jsc_compact_693.js"
function rsz(v){
  var w=self.innerWidth;
  if(isNaN(w)||w<=0){
    w=document.body.clientWidth;
  }
  if(w>0){
    eval(s_rz);
  }else{
    if(v<500){
      window.setTimeout("rsz("+(v+1)+")",100);
    }
  }
}

The function called before ready of  contents of iframe.And repeat itself until w becomes the effective value and then it set correct size to each fields.
Max500 times of re-trials are carried out. It is finished without anything when all the trials fail.

I think this is completely the site problem

[Loic]

And do you know which bug has made this issue appear? (in the changelog I linked)

Comment 20

[Alice0775 White]

Wait, Step 2) in comment#18 is not necessary. So,  the dollowing assumption may be wrong.

Err in comment #20, s/dollowing/following/

So maybe dupe of bug 641188?

Reporter: Is this now fixed for you ?

Comment 24

[Loic]

I'm not able to reproduce it with a new testcase, so let's close it.
