IE related formatting bug in Trac markup system

[mgoettsche@…]

Good day,

there appears to be a formatting bug related to Internet Explorer in Trac's markup system when using {{{...}}}.

• Example 1 (trac_opera.png, how it looks like in Opera)
• Example 2 (trac_IE.png, how it looks in IE7)
• Example 3 (trac_IE2.png, IE7, different bug)

Two problems:

1. The text in the preformatted boxes is not readable in Internet Explorer 7.
2. The general use of scroll areas for text longer than the comment box width. I understand that this is the desired behavior, but it would be great if one could disable the scrolling functionality with an extra option

Thanks in advance!

Which version of Trac did you use to reproduce this error?

Right, same behavior here with IE7 (works fine with Firefox though).

#8158 closed as duplicate of this ticket.

Moving up the milestone, though I still have no idea what we can do here. Maybe a min-height rule for IE only?

By the way, this problem is gone in IE8.

+1 from me, but I'm biased (not using IE at all).

Ok, people using IE7 should upgrade to IE8, it's quite nicer ;-)

If someone is sufficiently annoyed by this issue on IE7 and motivated to write a patch that doesn't break anything else (especially for other browsers), feel free to reopen and submit it.
