Fixed in Recent Builds

I have been using Build 1694 on an Intranet for quite a while. None of my users have complained about any of these issues, so I suspect they have all been fixed. -- JimmySieben [2005-10-12]

I am now using the latest CVS version and can confirm that it fixes all FireFox bug I am aware of -- FoxyFox [2006-01-22]

Font is too small in Mozilla and Firefox

The text is too tiny when viewed on Mozilla. The css classes use percentages for some of the font sizes (which don't seem to agree with Firefox).

• +1 (increase text size). I may have to take this on when I get my other FlexWiki tasks out of the way - it really bothers me. -- CraigAndera
• +1 Agreed, this is the main reason my company would never use FlexWiki. Many users don't use IE. Besides the ridiculously small font, many of the popup controls don't work either. -- PatrickBennett
• (- 1?) -- Make this configurable. I love the tiny fonts on IE. - GarnetRChaney
• Workaround: Change the stylesheet, or in Mozilla Firefox: Tools -- Options -- Fonts & Colors -- Minimum font size: 12 or 10, whatever you like. -- WouterCX
• Wow, that Firefox option helps rather a lot. It's still a hack that we should fix in FlexWiki, but thanks! -- CraigAndera
• I to found it helped, but it only seems to affect the main didplay. The left hand pane of links (e.g. the edit icon link), are still small. Must be set somewhere else. I guess we can find this, though. -- WayneDawson
• Workaround 2: Hold CTRL and MouseWheel up or down. -- ChristianEhrhardt
• Workaround 3: This style looks better for the body portion in non-IE browsers:

 .TopicBody
 {
         BACKGROUND: url(/watermark.jpeg) white fixed no-repeat center center; 
         color: #303030;
         font-family:  Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
         font-size: 10px;
         padding-left: .2in;
         padding-top: .01in;
         padding-right: .2in;
         padding-bottom: .2in;
 }

• See also WouterCXMozillaFontsizesFixStylesheet for the changes you have to make to the stylesheet, wiki.css. There is a handy extension for Firefox that you can use, Web Developer Toolbar. This is how I found out which items I had to change: CSS -- Edit CSS. With this, you can change a single stylesheet item, and see the differences applied to the page directly. I changed to status of the feature request to closed. If anyone disagrees, please open it again. -- WouterCX

CSS differences between FireFox and IE

Seeing some issues between ul, li and ol (nested bullets) elements between FF and IE. This issue only becomes a problem when you have a bulleted list in your sidebar. Sometimes the names get mangled. Screenshots here: CrossBrowserBulletedListsScreenShots. The WouterCX stylesheet fix above doesn't seem to help.

There is one fix, but it might mess up other things: add this to your wiki.css:

 * { 
        padding: 0; 
        margin:0; 
 }

Other Issues

• Clicking Preview button commits changes (Firefox)
• Formatting tips don't show when clicked on (Firefox)
• Clicking on page title doesn't put you in change topic mode (Firefox)
• Recent Changes page does not render correctly because there is a display:block command in the TR element. Removing it makes firefox render it as a table.
