I was using a website, using firefox browser, recently and found that the display gave a text overlap of a field I wanted to use, which caused difficulty. I informed the site author and the matter is now awaiting correction.
However, when I was in discussion with the site author there was the suggestion that it was related to point sizes or font sizes or similar, and it seems this item is not a problem when firefox was used with windows, only with ubuntu. I am not using windows so I cannot check this. When I did look again knowing this, I saw that my Ubuntu 8.04.3 had firefox 3.0.15 and my Ubuntu 9.10 had firefox 3.5.5 which was not (quite) so bad, but still not displaying correctly. How is it that different OSs cause say, firefox, to display stuff differently? and given that this happens, is it difficult to try to use the same parameters in ubuntu as windows, or is there something fundamental causing a difficulty? My particular difficulty was with the newsletter registration fields on the right hand side of the page: http://www.hattonmarketing.co.uk/ Comments appreciated -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
