Description sakaki 2014-11-08 11:31:29 UTC
Hello, the wiki rendering appears to have changed recently. However, while it shows up nicely on the Gnome "Web" browser (I have 3.12.1 with WebKit 2.4.7), many other browsers (Firefox, Safari etc) seem to render badly. I have confirmed this is not just me, by running pages through browsershots.org.
Specifically - some templates (such as 'Important') seem to get clipped, and at the top of the page, the title is obscured by the 'Project Page / Discussion' tabs. A simple example that shows this: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Wiki:FAQ

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Wiki:FAQ in e.g. Firefox 33.0
2. or, go to browsershots.org (or similar service), have them render it (for a variety of hardware / browsers)
3. compare with results for Gnome "Web" browser (v3.12.1 with WebKit 2.4.7) (the only one where it looks ok)
Actual Results:  
Almost all browsers (that I have tried, and returned by browsershots.org) show the title obscured by the 'Project Page / Discussion' tabs, and the 'I' missing from the yellow 'Important' template - plus just generally ugly layout.

Expected Results:  
What you would get going to http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Wiki:FAQ in the Gnome "Web" browser (v3.12.1 with WebKit 2.4.7), which is the only one that seems to render OK. (same for all pages on Wiki as far as I can see...)
BTW this appears to have changed recently, a week or so ago the wiki rendering was working fine on pretty much all mainstream browsers.

I will try to upload a zip of pages from browsershots.org to this bug report, if the tool will let me

Thanks for the detailed report. Before you do anything, can you try again?
I just noticed wrong contents in the frontend cache and reset it. That might fix the issue already.

Please ignore - this was the only one which did look OK out of the set returned!

This is an example that shows this issue

Just for reference, this is an example of how it looked, prior to the cache change...
Comment 6 Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2014-11-08 11:54:04 UTC
So I guess this is fixed now
Comment 7 sakaki 2014-11-08 11:56:28 UTC
OK, got the new crop back from browsershots.org, and all look good now.
Many thanks for fixing this so quickly Alex.
