Description Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-04-18 20:20:29 UTC
It seems to have loads of modal text box issues, central scrollbar is unusable in chrome...

It sucks muchly
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2011-04-18 20:25:52 UTC
Only issue I've seen in Firefox 4 is the last line of the chat being cut off below the scroll bar.

Don't forget to collect links to the upstream bug tracker! Report anything that hasn't been already reported: https://github.com/ether/pad/issues
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2011-04-18 20:27:26 UTC
Chat window cut off: https://github.com/ether/pad/issues/248
Comment 3 Krinkle 2011-04-18 20:27:42 UTC
* The #vdraggie element is dispositioned (hovering a username in the list
triggers the dragger)
* #chatlines element has 22px offset from bottom and #chatbottom has height of
22px, but it also has a padding of 4px so the actual height is 30px (since in
the css box model padding is included). bottom offset should be 30px instead.
* more weirdnesses and problems as a result of css problems that have clearly
not been extensively tested in enough modern browsers.
Comment 4 Guillaume Paumier 2011-05-05 06:59:21 UTC
Dunno if this is specific to our install or should be reported upstream.

Besides the issues already discussed here (including the unusable scrollbar, doesn't work for me either in FF4), etherpad seems to eat all the empty lines when copy/pasting out of etherpad.

Comment 5 Niklas Laxström 2011-05-10 13:23:22 UTC
No changes in upstream yet. Annoying.
Comment 6 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2012-03-04 11:16:53 UTC
This bug will magically resolve itself whenever we migrate to EtherPad lite bug 34953.

Maybe we can even wont fix it right now :)
Comment 7 T. Gries 2012-03-04 13:19:27 UTC
...better use the modern Etherpad lite. I programmed also an extension for it.

Comment 8 T. Gries 2012-03-04 13:20:31 UTC
Etherpad lite is here https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite
Comment 9 Krinkle 2012-11-05 06:25:01 UTC
Mean while etherpad.wikimedia.org still sucks with those annoying overflow bugs.

Indeed, cf. bug 34953 comment 6.

Please use the labs setup http://etherpad.wmflabs.org/pad/

Reopening.

So there is still to do, and this seems the most logical place where to track it.

Per:

(Daniel Zahn on bug 29822 comment 11)
> i would not recommend using labs, labs is for testing.

I consider that advice rescinded by ops (better late than never); bug 46539 is where updates are being posted and seems to be the way forward, so let's move there.
