Browser cuts off edge of pages

[Sam Bull]

This used to work fine a few weeks ago. Since one of the recent rtm updates, the browser cuts off the right edge of some pages with no way to access the content off the edge. It is not possible to pan across or zoom further out, the content is simply cut.

Examples:
http://www.dancecentral.info/ballroom/international-style/waltz/waltz-reverse-turn
Only the left half of the tables displayed on this page are viewable, resulting in much of the important content being cut off.

I know for sure that this website used to be fully viewable in the browser. The page is badly designed, but I was able to pan across the page to view the full contents of tables.

I can reproduce the issue with http://hintjens.com/blog:78, both with the RTM image on krillin and with the vivid image on flo.

The issue would be in oxide as I can reproduce it with a bare WebView.

@Sam: you mention it used to render as expected a few weeks ago, would you have a more precise estimate of when it started to break?

For reference, oxide 1.3.4 was published in RTM on the 17th of November, shortly followed by oxide 1.3.5 on the 20th of November. Before that, we hade oxide 1.2.5.

Just tested image #140 from the 14.09-proposed channel on krillin (which has oxide 1.2.4), and the issue was already there. I’ll try going back further in time.

Tested image #2 from the 14.09 channel on krillin (published on the 24th of September, it seems it’s the farthest I can go back in time on this channel), and the issue was already there (that image has oxide 1.2.0). Are you sure this is a recent regression? When do you recall last seeing those sites rendered correctly?

If you open http://hintjens.com/blog:78 in Chrome's responsive design mode and set the size to the device screen size (in DIPs), then you get the same behaviour.

The issue is that the text is inside a div with a hardcoded width of 950px, which is inside a div with overflow: hidden. This is very much caused by poor website layout

I only really noticed it during the last week or so, but am not sure I
accessed those other pages for a number of weeks before that. I have been
using the rtm images, so I would estimate that it most have broken around
2-7 images ago, around the runup to the golden image.

OK, maybe I imagined this happening more frequently then. Perhaps the issue is only with the page using large tables.

Can you check that page? That is the page that definitely worked a few weeks ago, and I don't see any overflow:hidden uses, so it is perhaps a separate issue.

Nevermind, I'm seeing the same behaviour now on other browsers.

After a little more investigation with archive.org, it seems that the website in question has been changed recently, so it's no longer viewable. Sorry for wasting your time.
