Mint CSS broken/bad for Firefox 3?

Is it just me, or did the Mint CSS go funky in Firefox 3? It’s mainly just the little headers in each pane (below the tab) that identify the columns. They’re no longer lined up correctly and don’t carry all the way across the pane. Nothing else really seems impacted. Despite searching through the forums, and Firefox 3 being out for… almost 5 months, I hope I’m not the only one seeing this.

I’m not seeing any issues. Can you post a screenshot?

My apologies on the slow response. I totally thought I’d get an email when you responded (plus I forgot I posted about it). I posted a few samples (and could post more if you’d like). It’s not just limited to those panes.

Longbored, I’m not experiencing this problem and I view via Firefox 3.0.4. I recommend you redownload Mint and replace your live CSS with the CSS in the ZIP file from your download. May fix the problem.

Did that. No change. :(

Ugh, I think it’s always like that for me… It’s correct on two panes (Visits, Real Estate), but tabs don’t line up on the 10 other panes I have (Referrers, Searches, Locations, Sparks, User Agents, User Agent Pies, Crushes, etc).

Now it looks as if it’s ok when there’s two columns with green headers in a pane, but not in a single one.

Fx 3.0.4 and 3.1b, it’s been like that on 2.x too.

Ok in Chromium and Opera 9.6

Hmm, I still can’t reproduce the problem. Are you using a third-party (perhaps slightly modified version of a default) style? Any non-default display settings selected in your Preferences?

It only happens when I check “Fix pane height and use scrollbars” in the display settings.

I think it’s caused by your method to make the tbody of the content panes scrollable. Maybe that causes Firefox to collapse the table headers to the left. There’s no problem where you used nested tables, when the thead is part of the scrollable area (like in the Visits or Real Estate panes).

some screenshots, the bugs:

all ok here:

xul nailed it with the fixed panel height. If I set mine back to being non-fixed (flexible?) they line up just fine. I’ve tried replacing the CSS with a fresh copy and it still happens.

Nice work xul. I’ll see what I can do to address that.

I’m still experiencing this in 2.17. Maybe 2.18?

Sorry about that, this bug fell off my radar since I don’t use Firefox.
