midas web pages that use overlays (dlgPanel, etc) are currently broken - if
overlay does not fit in the visible window, it's bottom is truncated and control
buttons like "create" and "cancel" are not visible, not clickable, page does not
work.
when these pages were originally written, I am pretty sure these overlays were
scrollable and this problem did not exist. I think that was broken recently,
maybe withint the last year or so.
specific examples:
a) odb editor:
- open odb editor,
- click on "create odb link"
- click on "link target ...", a dialog overlay opens with a list of odb keys in
the current directory
- select a directory with a large number of entries (i.e. "/Programs")
- alternatively, make browser window smaller
- observe the "ok" and "cancel" buttons are not visible, cannot be clicked
- definitely, there used be a scroll bar and one could scroll down to see these
buttons.
b) history planel editor:
- open history plot,
- click on "configure this plot" icon,
- history editor opens,
- click "add active variables"
- select active event that has many variables
- observe that the list is cut off at the bottom, the very last variables are
not visible
- alternatively, make the browser window smaller
I wrote this page and at the time this problem did not exist, there was a scroll
bar and one could scroll up and down the list even if there were really many
variables there.
Maybe this breakage is not from us, I see similar problems on other sites, so
maybe browser behaviour changed recentlyshly.
I think Stefan write the dlgPanel code originally? I am not very familiar with
it and I do not know if anybody changed it recently?
