Screen overrun when "auto" scrolling manage_main frame

[Jeff Peterson]

In lib\python\App\dtml\manage.dtml

    <frame src="&dtml-URL1;/manage_workspace" name="manage_main"
     marginwidth="2" marginheight="2" scrolling="auto"/>

this causes the page to overflow when auto scrolling engages. Change to:

    <frame src="&dtml-URL1;/manage_workspace" name="manage_main"
     marginwidth="2" marginheight="2" scrolling="yes"/>

this makes the scrollbar "space" visible at all times, but when the page scrolls there is no overflow.

Can you explain what you mean with "overflow"?

I fail to understand the problem.

This seems to have been changed to this way in Zope 2.64. Also, this is an IE only issue, so maybe a change isn't in order at all. However I will still clarify. When CSS scrolling is set to "auto" IE doesn't size the page to fit when the scrollbar appears, thereby causing the page to "overflow" off the right side of the page, thus requiring you to scroll over to see that edge.

By setting CSS scrolling to "yes" you force IE to automatically include the scrollbar "wells" or "placeholders". Call them what you want, but then they are included in IE's width calculation, therefore when it actually needs to scroll, the entire page is visible.

Like I said, this is IE only. Plus it is simply a nuisance rather than something that causes issues. There may be a more elegant fix as well, but this will take care of it.

This issue would need to be confirmed against modern versions of IE again, chances are something changed in the last six years :)
