This is an old bug from v1.8 that made it all the way into 2.2 (my not reporting it surely had to do with that). :))))) In my blog, at least (custom skin), the comment box always appears only partially and the commenter has to type blindly the last three or four letters of every line; there are no scrollbars also. Evidently, the textarea is too wide for the DIV, or whatever, that is containing it. But the strange thing is, after I click "Preview", the comment box (in the same screen, not the preview window, where it is obviously not editable) is resized and scrollbars appear.

As soon, however, as you begin typing, the bug is "restored". (I had forgotten to add it in the previous post).

Hi bit,

This looks like a bug, but still I ask you to do some testing in other skins. If it is related to one skin (and more skins if they are derived from that skin) it's other people concerned then if it's a code thing.
Please report back to this topic. Do you have a (small) screenshot to go with it. I am bored of all this text, I want some more pics. :roll:

Good luck

The screenshot was taken using another skin, so it looks like a code issue.

Nonono, my mistake, the skin change wasn't in effect when I captured the image. But I checked it again and it happens also with other skins, take my word please.

Hi bit,

I believe you, that's not the point. I want to figure out what department can solve this issue :p

I knew, it was a half-joke. Thanx.

I forgot to add that I am using IE6 in a 1024x768 resolution.

Suggestion..... try another browser and tell us what happens.
IE7 or Opera or Firefox.
It seems to an overflow issue

This is getting somewhere.
I tested in Firefox 2.x and all is OK, but in IE 6 I have the same problem as you. That defines this as a skin issue.

I hate skinning for ie6, but I will have a look at it if and when time permits.

Good luck

Same answer as for other annoying bug: I can't switch browsers, I am in a work environment or in a cybercafe, with no Internet access at home. Every cybercafe in my city has IE6 installed, and rarely Firefox 1x. Many many people use IE6 and I think b2evo should try to be compatible.

I posted my answer before seeing your last message. Thanx again for the effort!

IE6 is the issue and it just needs a CSS hack to work, I think!!

This line and more precisely '40' in this line, should reduce the size of the textarea. But it won't in my setup. Don't know why.
File: ../blogs/inc/comments/views/_comment.form.php line 115:

$Form->textarea( 'content', $content, 16, '', '', 40, '' );


So investigations are ongoing.

Anything wrapped in div extracats might help Afwas
