Incorrect overflow axis in acp style (review later)

Introduced in #45975, the overflow-y causes IE6 to have a heart attack and display vertical scrollbars everywhere which restricts usage.

The following patch fixes IE6 and still keeps the horizontal scroll in the smilies page for modern browsers :)

why now overflow-x instead of overflow-y?

Posted by Josh (Former Team Member) on Sep 20th 2009, 14:31

overflow-x describes what to do when the content exceeds the elements width, whilst overflow-y is for height.
EDIT: the main reason in the change is to help to identify what we are trying to achieve, which is to control the flow of the width in acp pages for low resolutions.

erm, yes, it was always about width and not height, therefore my question. ;)

yes, but. have i answered your question? :?
the behaviour from y to x doesent change too much, as its browser dependant (by what ive seen)
changing it to x removes the crazy vertical scrollbars for IE6, but IE6 still haves issues in the smilies page for low resolutions, hence my setting the overflow to visible for IE6 only, which renders the content readable again. :)

So, the original fix was completely wrong... gah. :/

I take it you tested it with several browser - question answered now. ;)

This patch causes FF 3.x to have a "heart attack" when the page grows very long. See screenshots at viewtopic.php?f=225&t=1798545
