Trouble with Fenspace Mediawiki under Chrome - HRogge - 04-12-2014
Hi, our Fenspace wiki has trouble rendering correctly in Chrome, most likely because of some ancient KHTML bug workaround (see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issu ... ?id=346638 ).
Are there still people using KHTML anymore? Maybe we could fix the KHTMLfixes.css file?

The trouble's not with Fenspace, it's with Chrome. It's the least standards-compliant browser there is. They embrace the existing standards, then extend them....
Google's doing exactly what Microsoft used to do.

its a fix that thinks someone is still using KHTML. Chrome is just interpreting what the webpage browser detection generates... in this case its just stupid output.

As far as I can tell, the FenWiki is standards-compliant - it shows up just fine in Firefox/SeaMonkey, IE, and Safari, using a couple of the available skins. (Haven't tried Opera yet.)
I'd suggest "getting a real browser".

*sigh* okay forget it... was worth the try to get it fixes.

Well, part of the problem is we're about... seven versions behind the current release of MediaWiki. So there's that then.
(Will we upgrade? Probably yeah at some point, it just scares the willies out of me.)

The problem is a single file called "KHTMLFixes.css" which contains a single style command:
KHTMLFixes.css Wrote:/* KHTML fix stylesheet */
/* work around the horizontal scrollbars */
#column-content { margin-left: 0; }
I just blocked the line by using the "Stylish" extension for chrome and the custom style:
Quote:DIV#column-content {
margin-left: -12.2em !important;
}
now everything works fine (for me).
