Bug with sgf browsing and slowness

Post by Tryphon »

I have not been on the forum for months due to personnal buisiness, but I'm now back frequently, most of the time with my netbook (small screen).

I use chrome, on a Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, and I set chrome with "zoom 83%". Doing that, the stones on diagrams when browsing sgf appears shifted, as seen on the capture.

Other problem, pages of the forum are often not loading properly, I must stop loading then restart it to see the page.

Are these problems known, forum related or due to my computer ?

My guess is the javascript code assumes a fixed size. I use Firefox (also on Lucid) and have a minimum font size set, and I had issues doing my taxes online until I realized what the problem was. I did send in a support email, as I assume other people doing taxes might also be getting older and set a minimum font size for readability. :)

I don't notice your issue here, but probably Eidogo's text is already at least as large as my minimum, so it's not getting shifted on my screen.

I don't know offhand an easy way to make the javascript not care how large the actual go board is on the screen when it places the stones, but I'm also a but out of practice with JS, so maybe browsers export that sort of layout data now. If not, maybe there's some sort of callback mechanism that could be used when the board is laid out to determine what "pixel" each intersection is on?

But until that complex problem is solved (or not), I'd set zoom to 100%.

Just FYI, I am running Ubuntu Natty with Chromium and zooming in/out doesn't cause any problems.
