IPB3 - Fast Reply Box Doesn't Display Consistently

[ptrader]

Anyone else have problems with the FAST REPLY box not displaying consistently?

I'm seeing it show up this way on multiple machines, operating systems, and displays, on all skins including the default IPB one, so I don't know what to think.

When a page is redrawn, the FAST REPLY box will often show huge icons and you can't click into the reply box. This is what it looks like:



Any help?

What browser is that in?

[ptrader]

IE7. I see the same thing on Google Chrome. Unsure about FF, as I'm probably the one anti-FF person in the world.

I would report it to the bug tracker and see what they have to say.

There is already a bug report "Confirmed - Ongoing Research" on that issue but despite our efforts we are not able to reproduce it so we cannot fix it.

If you have a proper list of steps to reproduce the issue that will help us a lot.

Can you link me the bug TB?

Edit: I ask because I can get it to happen practically every page load in IE.

This bug is very, very confusing to me. It has been reported by a few people. No-one on staff has ever been able to reproduce it, which makes tracking down the cause very difficult. What's more, it's just plain old HTML, and a javascript call to Element.hide(). Totally confused as to why that would result in what you see. We'll keep on investigating and see if we can figure it out.

Rikki, the only information I have been able to get from my users who have got this issue is that they are using the RTE editor..

I'm tempted to say it's something to do with the way it's called into the page and is then hidden, rather than being hidden, then called when required (unless that is how it is already.. in which case, this whole post is useless)
