This issue is partly a Themes issue and partly a glossary/view php script one, I guess. The attached screenshot shows a Glossary in Simple, dictionary style view, which I take is the most common view setting of Glossaries in moodle sites. I find fault with the 5 following points, which all toghether concur to a total waste of space on the page and untidy display.
- Why the arbitrary split of the alphabet listing in two lines? Much better have letters separated by ordinary (i.e. not non-breaking spaces) and allow for automatic wrap if list is too long (too wide) for display in narrower windows.
- Too much vertical space lost there.
- Wrongly placed colon after a line break, standing on its own. We've had this bug before in 1.9 and I thought it had been fixed.
- Too much vertical space lost there.
- Unsightly "alignment" of entries. Entries and definitions should be all left-aligned, not centered.
If you agree, vote for MDL-23360.
