That's a good question. I didn't think there was a difference, but reading Apple's documentation [1] it seems that device-width always means the same thing, even when in landscape mode, so that the content won't resize (it will zoom?) when you switch orientations. If the scaling factor is 1 then it will resize so that the width of the page is the device-height when in landscape. I haven't actually tested that though, nor do I know how that would affect non-Safari browsers. On another note, do all of those tickets need to be moved over to github or will they be tracked on google? In particular should I move this one over to github or should we (read someone else) try something automated like [2]? -Ivan [1] http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/UsingtheViewport/UsingtheViewport.html [2] https://github.com/dave0/gcode-issue-import -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
