Created attachment 7376 [details] Problem screenshot There are some border lines over tabs when viewing the wiki in a bigger size than default. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/ 2. Press Ctrl + (similar quirks with bigger zoom)
I can't believe nobody caught this problem that affects vector, but not monobook skins. It's so simple to reproduce. In Firefox visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Now start hitting CTRL++ or ALT v z i, to zoom in, making fonts bigger for older users. Observe how the "Main Page" "Discussion" "View Source" tabs start overprinting and getting truncated, etc. Now restore sizes with CTRL+0 and try again with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?useskin=monobook See, all fine in monobook. No such bug. Seen with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b7) Gecko/20101111 Firefox/4.0b7 Iceweasel/4.0b7
Created attachment 7914 [details] jumble Here I have hit CTRL++ many more times than usual, to better show the problem. Note in monobook, the same amount of CTRL++'s at most only cause the globe logo to move over some text. The tabs maintain their proper appearance.
(In reply to comment #1) > I can't believe nobody caught this problem that affects vector, but > not monobook skins. Far from it, I rigorously test this exact behavior constantly, and am following our documented guidelines. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_interface_guidelines#Design_Considerations Yes, if you have a really small monitor the tabs may overlap. To help with this, a JavaScript powered extension causes tabs to collapse into a drop-down menu when there's not enough room. You are seeing that if the text scales REALLY big (larger than 200% or it's original size) and the user's screen is REALLY small (lower than 800px wide) there's an issue. So - yes, that's true. But it's already known and accepted. Ideas for how to solve for this edge case are welcome.
200%?! All I know is "Read" becomes "d" upon even the very first hit of CTRL++, starting from a CTRL+0 state, here on my 7 inch EEEPC 702 at resolution 800x480. I also know that monobook gets it right.
