915063 - [Redesign] On Mac OS 10.8 and later no way to know that there is a <pre> overflow

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Design, defect)

Description

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

Attachment: Overflow just hide the data, no scrollbar available.

When the <pre> content is larger than the available space, it is cut. 

There isn't a visible horizontal scrollbar until we hover over it.

Before the redesign the pages where larger and had a minimal width, so this didn't appeared on most page.

Now a lot of pages show this problems: the default size is smaller and we can lower it much more (which is a good thing but needs to adapt our content). There is no way to be able to adapt the pages in less than 2-3 months, so we need to find a way to tell the user he needs to horizontally scroll.

What is our goal with this ticket?  What are we looking to add/code?

Comment 2

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

It is one of the numerous in-content things we have to fix before the real launch.

Pre elements shouldn't have overflow -- the full code should always display.  Where is this happening now?

Comment 4

[David Walsh :davidwalsh]

I have no idea what to do with this.  Users can hide columns to see all of the code.  We can't really detect this overflow, so... ?  Ideas?  What is desired here?
