Originally reported via OTRS: [[ticket:2013040910012108]] User reported that entries aren't displaying on Chrome properly, they appear to be vibrating back and forth. There is no pattern to the articles that have this problem. Thus far, he has experienced it on: * [[en:You Belong to Me (2001 film)]] * [[en:José de Cieza]] * [[en:John Harold]] * [[en:Tana_River_Cisticola]] Chrome version 22.0.1229.79v I am giving the user a link to this bug report.
I assume that "entries" refers to "articles", but I still cannot imagine how an article "vibrates". The browser window is stale but the content inside is moving forth and back into some direction, or how would this look like? Does it change when switching between fullscreen and non-maximized browser window? Which operating system is this about? Running Google Chrome 24.0.1312.69 on Fedora Linux, I cannot reproduce the problem.
I have seem a similar problem on web-pages that try and dynamically set the position of elements. They end up fighting the browser due to rounding-errors, and the elements move back and forth (usually just 1 pixel) very rapidly. However, I cannot reproduce this behavior on any of the aforementioned articles in Chrome 26.0.1410.65 on Mac OS X (10.6)
I'm closing this as worksforme. Please feel free to reopen this report if the problem still happens, and provide also data on width and height of the browser window plus zoom level, because I'm afraid that we cannot reproduce otherwise. Plus might be a browser problem in the end anyway and nothing that can be fixed in MediaWiki code. Thanks!
