[RESOLVED]Handling of 2-Line Categories in the Browsing Tree

Scroll down to the highlighted category to the left of the screen on the category tree. The category name takes up 2 lines since the name is long: "Arms Micron Weapon Series (14)".

However, the highlighted gray arrow is spaced for only 1 line and the dots connecting that category to the category below do not reach.

Just what I wanted, another Opera bug! Thanks Wajo, I'll take a look-see.

I've got a workaround all ready to go--should be checking in tomorrow.

LOL. I was starting to think about using opera more. I do most netting on my tablet now so I've tried alot of the browsers. The only ones I've kept around are the default, chrome and opera. (android) They all have their ups and downs but it seems opera has alot of special bugs.

Isn't opera the default browser for apple products? Or at least used to be? I've never been a fan of apple products. Unless you're running some sort of production studio you're wasting your money. Especially now that they are using Intel CPUs. At least when they were Motorola exclusive they were rock solid. I know people crashing their macs with intel chips all of the time. Primarily when using Pro Tools and Avid Studio.

And if it's the look/feel/layout you like, there are plenty of Linux flavors for free. Unless you're a gamer then it's PC or Mac. But if you're just surfing the net, sending emails, and doing general office computing Linux is just fine.  I by no means an expert but from what VERY little research I've done, it just seems that I-os is just a tailored Linux-Unix port, or copy or rip-off. Whatever term you prefer. But all and all from my 25+ years of owning computers, as far as home computing goes, Apple has been twice the price with half the abilities.

I'm sorry I keep writing these little blogs. I've just had way too much free time lately.

I use the Opera web browser for over 10 years now. In terms of browsing experiance, features, security and innovation, I like Opera the best.

FYI, the bug with the dots are not specific to opera. I see it too in Chrome...

I really don't recommend Opera for shmax users--bugs notwithstanding, it doesn't support some of the html5/css3 features that I've been using on the site for some time. Two of the more dramatic ones include CSS3 gradient support (compare the pegboard background of the site in both browsers; IE9 doesn't support it either, but it's able to fall back to SVG--which doesn't seem to work in Opera, even though it's supposed to be supported) and styling of select drop-downs (look at the watchlist widget in both browsers). I also recommend it for performance reasons--javascript runs about twice as fast in Chrome (as of 6/12), and the new long-promised profile page is a big hairy javascript application.

But to each his own.

Hmm, I did a little research and apparently Opera does support a prefixed gradient attribute. I'll see if I can get it to work when I get a chance...

This bug that keeps being talked about, are we talking about the fact that it isn't drawing the little dots to complete the line? Functionality doesn't seem compromised or am I missing something?

Yep, just the dots. Having identified and fixed all other bugs, we are evidently down to the nitpicking.

[Antron007]

For the record, I've seen the issue in FireFox, Chrome, Chrome for Android, and Android default browser.

That being said, may I suggest, since functionality is not the issue, that we put this one off for a bit? I really am excited to the expansion and think that visual issues shouldn't be a high priority. Max knows I've found a few small bugs and we agreed that they don't warrant the attention at this point. (Mine were mostly sort issues)

So, can we agree to put this on the back burner?

I'll take a quick look at it tonight after work, and if I can't dope it out in 10 minutes or so, then to the back burner it goes!

Dots fixed!

thank you.
