Wide HTML editor controls - odd

Wide HTML editor controls - odd

After one of the recent Git updates, our HTML editor went wide (see pic). Our theme is based on custom corners and this has only happened recently... weird.

Any ideas?

It's a typical css problem - something in your theme or for example in some block css might override normal htmlarea css (margin/padding for .button, .img, .toolbar etc )

Try Firebug or Web Developer plugin (in Firefox) to check what's after normal htmlarea.css tags for that editor toolbar

Paul,

I just checked latest moodle 1.9.7+ myself and it looks like this is a new bug in latest moodle.

I will try to find the reason later tonight.

OK - found it.

Somebody has added to standard theme styles_layout.css tags

.generalboxcontent table{
width:100%;
}

that caused this odd behaviour.

If those tags are taken away and you refresh browser editor should look normal again.

Good grief!... 247 minutes from "Go" to "Whoa!"....  Takes me that long to figure out the issue.
