...It only seems to have appeared on my computer in the last few days. Is it an X11 artifact, or more closely related to xconf? I have an ATI
No, I did not do a forum search. It's a forum problem on my nappy that only appeared a couple of days ago.I have an ATI Mobility HD 4650.
No previous problems displaying the Forum in Firefox. Current Firefox version is 5.0.1. It's no big problem--I rarely poll the forums for insignificant stuff. But it is somewhat irksome.

Press Ctrl++ or Ctrl+-, the + and - being the ones on the number pad part of your keyboard. (additional info) using Ctrl+0 returns you back to the default zoom. Sorry O-P, I had to steal your color scheme for consistency. |

I have that line for at least 6 months now. ON and OffAs it doesn't bother me at all, I never said anything. However, I looked at it briefly long ago, and it seems only to be in Firefox, not Opera As I said, it doesn't bother me, so.........  |

I have just changed from Compiz to the native KDE 3D compositing today and this line has just showed up for me on the forum and on other sites too and I only use OPERA. I've never had this line before.

Ctrl +/- enlarges/reduces the font and does away with the line. Using the same commands to return to the original screen makes the line come back. (BTW, neither Ctrl-0 or Ctrl-O does anything regarding Firefox on my lappy. Haven't tried it in Konqueror or Conky.
I mean it doesn't really bother me...who knows, it might be my default font settings...just one of those niggling things you know...

You can also get smaller zoom (in / out) increments by using the Ctrl key + Mouse Wheel. Additionally they can be modified in about:config and entering toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValuesEdit - plus you could use the Firefox NoSquint Add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592 |

Sorry - what did you say - deadcats? I can't read it  I think it's one add-on that's "saved" a lot of people a lot of eye strain! |

...the No Squint add on is a plus, but still does not remedy the original condition.
I really don't care about it, other than it's somewhat irksome.
However, if all those involved continue to troubleshoot it, who knows, we may ACTUALLY find a bug-fix. (P.S. My wife is a developer for that other OS, and wishes she had all the bug hunters available that Linux has. Just saying...we're doing something right...

In Firefox > Edit > Preferences > Content > Fonts and Colors >>> change the size of your default font to one lower.

Har...that worked! Thanks, Neal! You're welcome. If pages load with fonts too small, click the zoom in (+) icon on your firefox toolbar. That will increase the size of the pages, not just the font, so the stripe shouldn't come back. |
