BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=959632&group_id=34373&atid=411192
Originally submitted by Toby Bartels (tobybartels)  2004-05-24 20:36


I love the layout of the MonoBook skin, but something's
amiss with the style (in the sense of stylesheets).  In
the attached image (created with Netscape 7 on Unix),
you should see my problem:  The boxes for forms are too
short.

More specifically:
* In "Recent changes and stub display", the text in the
boxes is cut off at the bottom.  (This effect varies a
great deal -- sometimes better than these particular
examples, sometimes worse.)
* In "Misc settings", the checks in the checkboxes are
very small, thus hard to read.  (This effect is
consistent.)

These problems don't appear with the Standard skin --
but that skin isn't laid out nearly as nicely.  What
can I do to get the great page layout of MonoBook with
form boxes that I can easily read?

Dang it, I ''know'' that I've attached files before.  Let's
try that again.

This is a known bug in older mozilla versions, fixed a year ago or so.

Using Mozialla Firefox 1.0, I have the same problem with the navigation boxes.
I could fix it by changing the padding of the main.css file.
Perhaps it helps to change the padding of these boxes, too.

.pBody {                                                                        
    font-size: 95%;                                                             
    background: White;                                                          
    border-collapse: collapse;                                                  
    border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;                                                  
    /* old: padding 0 0.8em 0.3em 0.5em; */                                    
     
    padding: 0.1em 0.8em 0.3em 0.5em;

What is the problem? Can you describe it or post a screenshot please?
Comment 5 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2005-07-05 20:18:59 UTC
We can not fix this bug cause we do not have enough informations.

Please attach a screenshot showing the problem before
reopening this bug.
Comment 6 Toby Bartels 2007-03-24 21:59:18 UTC
If anybody wants to follow the link above, they should go to
http://toby.bartels.name/Wikipedia/MonoBook.bmp instead.  (I do not know if this
screenshot would still occur in Netscpe 7 for Unix, much less any current
browser, but it did use to occur, as described above.)
