Google glitch in browser
 

Can anyone help with this - I'm on Google groups and in Firefox and
Safari (I'm on a Mac) I get a sidebar down thew left which obscures
the first part of the posts. Anybody had this and know of a fix?
Happens on all groups, not just this.

Clearly just a Mac problem. Firefox has no sidebar on a PC.

Nope.

I get it in Firefox when I use Google Groups at work on a PC. I haven't
tried IE but it looks like it would not depend on the browser, though
I'm not sure.

It is very annoying. Clearly Google haven't bothered testing it
properly.

It completely obscures the top 2 or 3 posts on a page at the top left.

What does it look like? I have a clear screen. I'm using Adblock +
with my Firefox - could it be an ad window that isn't being
suppressed?

Ok. That isn't pretty. No clues, though, I'm afraid.

It looks as if you're trying to cram the Firefox window into a very
small screen. Is that all the screen resolution you can manage?

I can't make it happen on Windows. But then, you EXPECT glitches on
Linux don't you? All part of the fun :-)

If you'd just upgraded to Snow Leopard you'd have mentioned it, of
course?

No!!!!

I'm running 1920x1200 on a 24" LCD monitor. I just reduced the size of
the window for the screenshot, to keep the file size down. The problem
remains no matter what size the window is, though of course the fraction
of the window area occupied by the offending overlay at the top left
decreases as window size increases.

Also, it's nothing to do with Linux, because I get it at work in
Firefox on Windows XP.

I don't use Google Groups but just checked here using the latest Firefox
on XP. Fine. Tried it also on an ancient RISC OS browser with limited
JavaScript - and get full page text with no side bar.

I think I've found a fix! I reloaded the page and it went away! Hope
it lasts - try it! I used control+mouse click+"reload" on my Mac.

Why might that make a difference?

Because I'm seeing reports (particularly on the Sibelius forum) of
various things not quite working properly after installing SL. Partly,
we're told, because Apple made a few last-minute changes.

All this will be sorted out, I'm sure. But maybe some of these issues
are currently affecting FireFox.

Its just another bit of confusion caused by the tatty interface of Google.

Perhaps - hadn't noticed anything affecting Firefox though. Reports I've
seen relate to 32/64 bittedness.
