Hi All,
I've got a usability problem in our wiki. Currently we are running
2.0.3, but the problem started happening a few versions back. We have
several cases where we have long tables of information that used to work
fine -- the page would have a scrollbar which allowed the user to scroll
the "viewable" content page area and see all of the table. But now what
happens is the table is written under neither the panel on the right and
although there is a scroll bar it is for the entire page in the browser
so scrolling will never reveal the part of the table under the panel.
And the rest of it appears on top of the wiki "background" area so it
pretty illegible.
Is there some easy workaround to avoid this and put the tables back
"into" the page without having to create html around it to do it
artificially? The reason I don't want to do this is because it's one
more thing that makes it's harder for my users to create their own
content.
I am not sure when this change happened but I know for sure that with
version 1.6.x I was able to create tables in my pages that were
scrollable within the content area.
I hope this is making sense, a picture would have described it a lot
better :)
Here is a table example to show the sort of data we are trying to
maintain, once we put normal content in the rows the table runs off to
the right and becomes unusable.

Thanks in advance for any help,
This is an identified issue. There used to be an overflow CSS setting
applied to the wiki content area in previous skins. It made it so that a
horizontal scrollbar would appear at the bottom of the content area if and
when needed. The relevant CSS property somehow got removed in the latest
versions.
Caty, can you look at this and see if we can include the required property
in the colibri cleanup?
Thanks,
Guillaume
