Navigator/Shelf Display Problem in Internet Explorer

[luminary_mb]

Hi,

There seems to be a bug in the Alfresco Web Client when viewing it through Internet Explorer, in that the Navigator/Shelf panel to the left of the screen is slightly cut off from the right. This means that when I am viewing the Shelf panel, I cannot properly see the action icons next to the items in the Shelf's Clipboard and Shortcuts list.

Does anyone else have this problem? If so, has anyone been able to fix it?

I am using Alfresco Enterprise Edition 3.1, running on a Linux Ubuntu server, and viewing the web client in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. Although I also get the same problem using Internet Explorer 8 too.

Thanks.

So does this mean that Alfresco are aware of this problem and they are working on fixing it for the next release?

Yes - current "Fix version" is 3.1 SP2, for which I don't have a date.

You can use JIRA's "watch issue" action to be notified of updates.

Thanks,

I have modified main.css.

I have added this new entry

#sidebar
{
width: 220px;
}

and I have commented

min-width in .navigator style

and

width in navigatorPanelBody style

and looks ok on Internet explorer 8

The "full" solution was a bit more involved than that, to work correctly across IE6, 7 & 8 plus Safari & Firefox. In your case, your other option would have been to force IE8 into "IE8 rendering mode" either manually or by adding the appropriate meta tag to PageTag.java.

Thanks,
