Reply box background becomes more narrow

[ezd]

I think this is only an issue in the Safari browser. If you click the "Read More" button on an update which already has a reply, the gray background width on the reply-box becomes more narrow which is a shame.

Please see the attached screenshot for more details.

Confirmed in Chrome 11, works okay for me in FF 4.0.1. Webkit issue?

3202.1.patch fixes it, but it removes a declaration that is commented "IE fix". Anyone have an IE handy so they can see what the deal is? (Was introduced in r2567 if it helps.)

Im in IE 8 and the patch isnt doing anything weird on my testing server.. I'm just using developer tools and it reminds me why I hate IE. Once I applied the patch DevTools wont let me add a css. So I undid the patch and just toggled it off and on.

The old rev says it was an issue with the height, but I cant see why. No height changes when I toggle it off and on, or on other views of my activity.

apeatling mentions the reason in the old commit. The height for mini activity stream items (like group joins and new friendships) is off in IE.

In IE7, overflow:hidden is needed because if you hit the reply button, the activity comment form looks messed up and you can't click inside the textarea.

Yup, IE sucks.

I'll try to look into this when I have more time to debug.

So, this patch works okay in IE8 but not in IE7? How hard is it to fix for IE7? If a patch is provided, this can go in 1.3.

I'm going to mark this as a 'won't fix' purely due to the only hitch here being IE 7 and I'd suggest that's not supported anymore. If this is wrong feel free to reopen.
