posting issues.
« on: September 07, 2009, 06:21:03 PM »
Whenever I type to post in a thread eventually the text starts scrolling back in forth and makes it almost impossible to finish typing. I don't know if it's the settings on my PC or what.

I wish I could be more descript but that's the best way I can describe it.

I don't think that is the forums doing, I'd be interested in hearing more about it though, screen shots?

I think taking a screenshot would be tough since it only happens when I type and only for a brief instant.

I tried it on three different computers through three different IP's, modems.

Still the same.

Only happens when I reach the bottom of the screen.

Yeah not the forum, must be your browser/firewall/system/whatever. Don't you just love Bill Gates.

Sounds like your mouse is stuck, perhaps the little wheel in the middle since I had the same problem a while back.

I see, well if you have tried it on different computers... maybe the forum is to blame.. however no one else has had this problem have they?

The settings you have on all of them must be causing it..
I don't know what to tell you other then to look more into it..
Does it happen on firefox?

Scrolling issues can sometimes be caused by blank unicode characters.

I just had the same thing happen yesterday matter of fact poison. I let it go so I could systematicly figure out what was going on for you. It turns out this time it was a stuck space bar causing it to happen. Just a side note thought I would let you know.

Yes I will work on that but in the mean time you can always press the back button, copy it, and log back in, and then paste it.
Sorry for this inconvenience, and I will be trying to fix it soon!

Though I am not totally sure, I believe I have significantly extended the time before it kicks you off.
Please let me know if it happens again or if their are any additional problems....

Ive already tackled this one elsewhere. The problem exists within internet exploader 8.. There is a workaround that I have employed and it seems to be working well. Alternatively you can simply have the folks that use IE8  set the browser for compatibility mode for this site. It's probably a better idea to omit the workaround here, as the member base is small enough that anyone experiencing the problem is bound to speak up about it.

Below is the latest workaround (different than what I have applied) the source of which comes from http://dev.simplemachines.org/mantis/view.php?id=3354&nbn=20

In the month since my last post, this IE8 bug has turned up all over the net.
The only solution I could find on the net is to NOT set a percentage(%) width for the editor (until Ms fix the bug)

Sources/Subs-Editor.php
FIND
        'width' => isset($editorOptions['width']) ? $editorOptions['width'] : '70%',
REPLACE
        // IE8 Bug - % width causes scrollbar jumping around, so use a px width.
        'width' => isset($editorOptions['width']) ? $editorOptions['width'] : ($context['browser']['is_ie8'] ?'700px' : '70%'),

However setting a fixed width might be good for all resolutions.
I did a bit of testing and discovered that that we can abuse min-height/max-height instead.
1. Set fixed width (to anything), [i used 700px just in case]
2. Set min-width afterwards to the percentage width eg 70%
3. Set max-width afterwards to the percentage width eg 70%
WHAHALA!. No more jumping around.

Themes/default/GenericControls.template.php (and similarly for Curve)
FIND
                            <textarea class="editor" name="', $editor_id, '" id="', $editor_id, '" rows="', $editor_context['rows'], '" cols="', $editor_context['columns'], '" onselect="storeCaret(this);" onclick="storeCaret(this);" onkeyup="storeCaret(this);" onchange="storeCaret(this);" tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" style="width: ', $editor_context['width'], '; height: ', $editor_context['height'], ';', isset($context['post_error']['no_message']) || isset($context['post_error']['long_message']) ? 'border: 1px solid red;' : '', '">', $editor_context['value'], '</textarea>
REPLACE
                            <textarea class="editor" name="', $editor_id, '" id="', $editor_id, '" rows="', $editor_context['rows'], '" cols="', $editor_context['columns'], '" onselect="storeCaret(this);" onclick="storeCaret(this);" onkeyup="storeCaret(this);" onchange="storeCaret(this);" tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" style="', ($context['browser']['is_ie8'] ? 'width: 700px; max-width: ' . $editor_context['width'] . '; min-width:' . $editor_context['width'] : 'width: ' . $editor_context['width']) , '; height: ', $editor_context['height'], ';', isset($context['post_error']['no_message']) || isset($context['post_error']['long_message']) ? 'border: 1px solid red;' : '', '">', $editor_context['value'], '</textarea>
