3.2.0

Firefox 1.1 (alpha2) big problems with grid, scrollbars everywhere!

Well much like topic says, when using firefox 1.1 (alpha2) to view a page with an active widget component, scrollbars appear everywhere!

To demonstate the problem, here's a screenshot of how the ActiveWidgets homepage widget demo looks: http://www.allset.nl/activewidgets.png

I hope this can be fixed, we paid for and use this component with much pleasure, but that is some kind of breakage in combination with FF1.1 rendering engine :-)

I know about this problem - for sure the grid will work with Firefox 1.1 (when it will be released). But I did not want to put in the workaround for something which may still change several times before release.

http://www.activewidgets.com/general.faq.browsers/gecko.html



The grid display is currently broken in Mozilla 1.8 alpha due to various bugs in current implementation of new CSS properties. Mozilla introduced support for overflow-x and overflow-y in 1.8a, however setting overflow-y to 'hidden' forces overflow-x to 'auto' and then you see unexpected scrollbars.

Here is the temporary fix:

.active-grid-row.gecko, .active-box-normal.gecko {
overflow-y: visible;
}



I am not sure if its really a bug - somebody point me that this is exact behavior specified by W3C, but it is still looks weird to me.

Personaly I am ignoring this bug till the browser is released not point debugging your pages in a unreleased version since they may alter stuff and your fix will then cause other probs then again always test a couple days before if they gonna release it :)
