Video also appears to have finished.

Actually, looking at it, I think the issue may be in the custom CSS that @PJH implemented to widen the field, without moving it left to compensate.
Fix should be to make the CSS:
#topic-progress { width: 170px; left: 320px; } #topic-progress-expanded { width: 158px; left: 320px; }But, I did just find a new bug to report...
-
Well, bring it on then. I'm formatting my old bug reports to be slightly more parse-able.
-
I've reported this before, probably in one of the Bug topics you haven't gotten to yet, also complete with video. I experience this just about every time I scroll to the bottom of a topic. It's really annoying, especially when it makes the editor window jump around, too. Fortunately, there's a really easy workaround (just scroll either up or down a tiny bit), but I sure would like it fixed.
-
I hadn't seen that report yet =( or don't remember it if I did. ..
I'm still mid August in the reports, and this thing was rude enough to present while I was reporting bugs. (That makes 4 bugs I've found reporting bugs. ..)
-
Looking at the timestamps on the videos in my Dropbox folder, I filed it on 29 July and added the second video on 6 August, so if you're working backwards, which I think you are, you haven't gotten to it yet.
-
August sixth should be on the chopping block for tomorrow, provided August 7..10 wasn't super heavy.

Better to report twice than to report never. What we going to do, run out of Bug IDs?

We've already started overflowing view times.

Thank you!!!
Filed under: : grin : is really creepy, and does not convey the happiness intended, but whatever.
-
Added.
May I assume from the lack of opprobrium that this has, at best, fixed the problem or, at worst, not made things worse?
-

This is Discourse. That would not surprise me nearly as much as it should.
-
It appears to have fixed it for me, as implied by my previous thank you.
-
I've only had it happen once, so I'll just keep an eye out for it.
-
It happens all the fucking time and I reported it waaaay back on the thread in the category I can't even view anymore.
-
Hrm... it slightly fixes it, but the issue can still happen (to note, even without any custom styles, you can still get it to happen).
I'd have to play around with it to get something that should "just work".
-
I did notice this happened a lot worse when I upgraded chrome for my personal website. Though my solution was to add overflow:hidden and be done with it. Don't know if you can do that here.
Chrome 34 was fine, but chrome 37 had a bouncing scrollbar on the right even though it worked fine on IE and older versions. (The bouncing also lagged the shit out of my browser)
-
Yeah, problem is, trying to find workaround styles for something when their general styles also suck.
Stock styles, there's a spot where they'll always have a horizontal scrollbar because their width on the row elements is too wide for a ~10px window of resizing.
Simple "fix", but still has an issue when the viewport is at 680px or less:
#topic-progress { left: inherit; right: -200px; width: 170px; } #topic-progress-expanded { left: inherit; right: -200px; width: 158px; }Honestly, the way they have that thing laid out with the styles, you'd have to either do a lot of workaround hackery to get something that won't have that issue and not put the counter over posts, or just say "screw it" and have the counter over posts (in desktop view, it already is in mobile view).
-
It might happen more often to me because I keep this domain at 125% zoom.
-
Always 100% here, and it happened all the time until @PJH fixed it. Also Chrome 37.
-
Stock styles
Here, on meta.d itself:
Can't make a GIF at work, but that scrollbar is flickering in and out, confirmation that the issue is their styles in general and not any of my tweaks implemented by @PJH.The real problem is, their styles on some things "drastically" change depending on the width of the browser, but that component doesn't.
-
Chrome 37 changed the rendering, I'm pretty sure.
-
I can get the scrollbar issue on IE and FF as well.
Yes, Chrome changing how they render some things may have made the problem more prevalent, but the source of the problem is really in the styles themselves.
-
Oh, sorry, not arguing there isn't an issue with the styling, I'm just saying it's been made worse.
