Frames splitbar in webhelp output behave differently in Chrome and Firefox

Hi,

I'm almost finished with our first iteration of a custom layout for webhelp, but I still have a very bizarre issue with the splitbar. In Firefox (44.0.2), it behaves as expected. In Chrome (48.0.2564), I experience two weird behaviors:

If I select the splitbar to resize the frames, the bar is duplicated and follows the mouse pointer.

If I click on the splitbutton, the layout changes and the right frame get bunched up down the page.

I did a diff with the original css and js and I can't find out what's causing this.

Any idea what's going on?

Many thanks,
Stefan

Hello,

What version (build number) of Oxygen are you using to generate WebHelp?
Can you try to use the built-in DITA Map WebHelp transformation scenario and let us know if the issue is still present?

Bogdan

Hi Bogdan,

Thanks you for your reply and sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

I actually solved my problem myself. In the original css, there was this line:

Code: Select all

border: 1px solid transparent !important;
I changed it for :

Code: Select all

border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc
(although I can't remember exactly why). That's actually what caused the unwanted behaviour because when I reverted back to the original line it solved the problem.

I'm still mystified by all this though.

Regards,
Stefan
