Did anyone ever figure out why the highlights often display something like this?



Or am I the only poor sap who has it happen to them?

Apparently that happens when your screen is set at 1024x768 resolution...  I can see it just fine in 1280x1024.

There is a front page 

Seriously it's not the resolution I get it as well.  My guess is it's the text being longer on the first highlight throwing it off

Shows up the funky way on mine. I'm like 1400x900 or some such nonsense.

Nope, not fine at 1920*1080. FF3 and FF2 both do this.

[Mongoose]

I run at 1280x960 myself, and it displays like this more often than not, depending on which particular foursome of highlights is on display.

So it's obviously not a resolution problem, I see the box out of place too...  Another thing that's evident is that the first box contains a lot of text.  The site may use some kind of grid-fitting algorithm to place the highlight boxes, so if the first highlight box contains too much text, the next highlight box gets pushed down.

[colecampbell666]

That's what I thought, but why would some people not see it?

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Different browser not interpreting the code the same?

Or some people are cooler than others. :-)

FireFox 3.0.8/3.0.9 (with and without IETab), Chrome, Safari and IE 7/8 on my PC render it fine at 1680*1050.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

That's odd. I have FF 3.0.8 on 1680x1050 as well, and they show up like Mongoose posted.

TEXT LENGTH.

The highlight boxes aren't fixed-size, so they stretch or shrink to adapt to the text.  We try to keep the text all the same number of lines, but that's not guaranteed to hold up over a variety of screen resolutions.

[Mongoose]

Heh, adding that phrase to the Windmills highlight fixed it on my end, but I can't help but wonder now who else got screwed up by it.

Hypothetically, I feel like making the boxes fixed-size would probably be the best solution.  Text which overruns the maximum line length could default into ending in an ellipsis and having a text tag display the full caption.

Should project heads give little blurbs to fit in the space or should it keep being the way it is.
