Thanks for the info. I moved this thread to Open Discussion since it's not actually an Ext bug report.

It's rendering is seriously weird. The page below works fine in FF2, IE* and Opera 9:

Peeps are posting it in the help section too as an EXT bug as if FF3 is supported. Oye.

[mystix]

maybe we need to state somewhere that beta version browsers are not supported :-?

[jay@moduscreate.com]

Please do? :)

Hey guys, after thinking about this, I think it's fine for people to post issues like this just so that the awareness is there. As things come up, I'm going to be more diligent about posting test cases and communicating them to the appropriate projects.

The FF DatePicker bug was logged in Bugzilla a while back: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387866

I added a link to a test page I put up: http://extjs.com/playpen/browser-bugs/FF/Beta4/datepicker.html

As other bugs come up I'll add additional test pages if needed.

@Nige: That's not a DatePicker is it? Looks like a regular combo that's not aligning correctly.

[brian.moeskau]

Oh, one more thing. Bugzilla allows you to vote for bugs (top right when looking at a bug report), ostensibly to raise priority. Not sure if the FF team uses that or not, but it couldn't hurt. If everyone will log in and vote for bugs that affect Ext like the DatePicker one it would be helpful. :)

That's a regular ComboBox that was created from a <select> element using the transform config.

It is nested quite deep in the Component hierarchy. It's in a FieldSet in the "south" Panel of a border layout Panel that is added to the center Panel of the main Viewport. But that should make no difference - the browser should not be "confused" by that.

It does other weird things on occasion like wrapping the trigger images of ComboBoxes onto the next line.

Does the DatePicker still render incorrectly if you change it to extend BoxComponent instead of Component?

Did you look at one of the grids with firefox 3?
All the rows which have a larger content than the with of the column are not cut but move all the other rows in that column in a weired way. I reported this behaviour to the firefox guys already usign beta 3 but no improvement yet. I guess its not a firefox problem but a ext problem?!

This bug only has three votes so far. We have to do better than this to raise the bugzilla priority.

[brian.moeskau]

I just checked in a fix for the DatePicker, so it should be fine in FF 3 now.

[jerrybrown5]

Is the gridView problem ok now as well?

[brian.moeskau]

Yes, it's been fixed in SVN also.

[jerrybrown5]

Brian,
Thanks for the quick response. I would like to hotfix my Ext installation and I don't know what file these changes are in. I checked the change log on GridView and the fix doesn't seem to have been made there?

Thanks,
Jerry

[brian.moeskau]

The grid fix was in grid.css.

[jerrybrown5]

Thanks, that did it. Muchos Gracias!
