Be sure zooming with CTRL++ does not chop off items

[jidanni]

The stuff around

<div class="item-list-tabs no-ajax" id="object-nav" role="navigation">...</div>

starts going off the edge and gets cut off when one zooms with CTRL++.

I.e., older users zoom the text and the choice buttons start getting fewer and fewer.

I was on my ​http://www.bdsm.com.tw/members/jidanni/ where I encountered the bug.

Bye went 設定， one character at a time.

I can't reproduce this. Can anyone else?

[jidanni]

Easy to reproduce:
On a seven inch etc. small browser window, do:
Visit ​http://www.bdsm.com.tw/members/jidanni/
no need to login.
Hit CTRL++ a few times then search (CTRL-F in Firefox, etc.) for 活動紀錄.
Hit CTRL++ some more if needed and e.g., CTRL+G to find the text again if it has slipped off screen.
You should be seeing something like the attached file.
Hit CTRL+- if you zoomed too much.

Text gets overlayed / cut off etc. after "excessive zooming"

Hm. I've tested on a couple different machines, running different OSes and different versions of FF and other browsers. When I zoom way, way in, it does get a little ugly. But at no point do characters get cut off. The navigation tabs are expanding to fit the content even at the highest level of zoom.

Are you sure that this isn't a problem specific to your machine? Have you gotten reports from users, or is this something that is only affecting you personally? Have you verified that it's happening on other machines/browsers?

Or perhaps you are expecting a little too much here. If you zoom in a huge amount, there's very little that BuddyPress (or any system, for that matter) can do to prevent the layout from being thrown off.

If you can provide specific CSS that we could implement that would improve your situation, please feel free to suggest it. In the meantime, I'm going to close this one as worksforme, as I think that it's currently working well within what it's reasonable to expect.

OK, maybe yes it is like that car was never tested for operating at 200 mph...
So in various browsers various things will happen...
