[bug] Post word-wrap issue

Click for full size
I haven't seen any other posts about this but I'm seeing a word-wrap issue on some, but not all, posts as shown in the attached screen capture.

This also hides the Reply button etc as they're right-justified.

Running Firefox 23.0.1.

Here a link to a thread where this occurs

»Microsoft security bulletin for September 10 2013

Is there a shorter post in that thread you could give me the permalink to? I'm not seeing the same thing in FF23.0.1 on the Mac:

I was actually trying to reply to this one

»Re: New MS Office Updates to fix!

and didn't see the Reply button. I thought, initially, that the thread may've been locked but the button was just off the screen.

Now if I open the above link in a new tab/window the issue isn't there. I have to open the whole thread (e.g. with my initial post link) and scroll down.

The screen capture above is what I see if I scroll the browser window to find the Reply button.

FYI just restarted Firefox in Safe-Mode (all add-ons disabled) and I see the same issue.

I think it's the code block that does it, I ran across similar in another forum the other day.

edit I should mention I don't get a text cut off but the margins of the thread are wrong.

Looks like your typical blown margins, usually due to too-large images though blocks of code (on some sites) have been known to do it, too. You "should" get a scrollbar for the block of code (I do).

I will check but the blown margins are rare if you are getting them often I wonder it the browser is not doing the right thing.
if you do have a horizontal scroll bar - which you should never really have to have - you can find the left menu overlays things as per the other screen shot.

Which I do.

That was my thought. Seems like a bug albeit a rare one.

why would you want a horizontal scroll bar unless the browser or content was failing to wrap can you give me a link and a horizontal width where a scroll bar appears? (and the browser if not Firefox )

Huh?

I thought you were asking if I got a horizontal scroll bar when the issue occurs. I do. I don't have one normally which is what initially threw me.

As for the rest I stated all that in my initial post.

Then it's likely that post--with the code block--is blowing your margins; it's the only "questionable" post in the topic, all the others being normal text and image thumbnails. I just wonder why you don't get a scrollbar on the code block instead of the page.

This is what I see in ff23 on that post:




The code block isn't acting as a code block.

So, you do or don't usually get the SyntaxHighlighter formatting? (disabling javascript will also disable SyntaxHighlighter)

Sorry, what is the SyntaxHighlighter?

(Javascript is enabled)

Makes it look like this (except it can also provide highlighting if you specify the type of code):

Ahh. Do I have to be the poster or does that work for everyone? How do I enable it?

I have an editor with syntax highlighting but didn't know that was possible on this site.

Seems not, in FF23. In Safari it works fine.

»Re: Microsoft security bulletin for September 10 2013

shows as a "code block" for me in Chrome and Firefox 23..
perhaps your firefox console might reveal me a hint.

Should be automatic for everyone--dslr.net scripts as well as some embedded code.

Not for me. In fact as tmpchaos See Profile posted here the code block isn't working right (no scoll bar for it etc).

I think I figured it out- it works in www, but not in secure. Here's the same in www:

Excellent! Hopefully it's just a matter of copying a file or two to the https site.

Yeah, I guess that's another way to disable javascript. (selected scripts anyway)

Using the https site disables Javascript? I'm not using anything to filter/disable it.

Just the scripts located on "unsecure" domains.
