i hate CSS

[personal profile] fu and I are racking our brains to try to remember what we did to fix the problem where people with Firefox/Mac saw text much more large than people with FF/Windows. Before we delve into Bugzilla: Does anyone remember that one? And if so, how the hell did we fix it?

EDIT: Also, a problem with width of elements in IE7 -- anyone good with that?

I don't remember, and I took a look through Bugzilla and couldn't find anything there, either. I then looked through the entire changelogMercurial log history to see if I could even find a clue, but no. :/ [edit: Turns out that the Mercurial log doesn't have the stuff [site community profile] changelog does. And changelog isn't searchable, unfortunately. :/] [edit to the edit: Sorry for the edit spam. Turns out "hg log" only shows the first line by default of the commit messages. But still nothing when I look at the full things.]

The only thing I was able to find was http://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/22815.html?thread=428319#cmt428319 , which probably doesn't help. :/

Not having IE7 I can't test anything but the problem comes from display: table which IE7 doesn't support (see http://www.quirksmode.org/css/display.html) so I think you need to assign a width to .action-box or set it to 'auto' (and then maybe negates it with max-width for other browsers). Sorry I can't be useful.

No worries! It's... a tricky problem. I've made do with a hackish workaround for now; not going to spend too much more time on it because we intend to remove it (in favor of restyling) as soon as feasible.

Do you remember (even roughly) when it was spotted/reported or when it was fixed?

It would've been back when we were doing the original site scheme design, I'm almost positive.

Not quite, but css-tricks.com looks pretty neat, thank you! *bookmarks*
