[xwiki-users] top navigation bar on toucan skin is flickering/flashing while scrolling
Hi, A thing that I already recognized since a long time, but now it affects me more because I really start using xwiki in production, daily, and look more often in the documentation on the .org website: On Ubuntu Linux with firefox (3.0.6), the administration/navigation bar on top of every xwiki page is flickering a lot when scrolling hte page instead of just keep being there as it is probably intended. it keeps there in the end, but it flashes heavily, which makes me very nervous and is bad for the eyes. On my own site I change is by making albatross the default - here it works poerfectly as intended. The bar is always there but no flickering at all when scrolling. I see, the problem doiesn't happen with Opera on UBuntu so I can work around it, but sure I'd rather like to use firefox. Am I the only one experiencing this? Did somebody try to look into this ? At a glance I see no great difference between the css settings of the two skins that could make this effect happen, but I'll look further into it.

Yes, this is a known issue, annoying a lot of people, including some of the devs (those that aren't using Macs), see http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XSTOUCAN-9 for more details (the comments are full of information and tips). -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

Yeah, the third hint helps me browsing the docs ;) Interesting, I didn't see the settings for the skin when going to the normal user config page. Anyway, for me it's solved then. Henning
Hi! I don't use toucan skin, but I think (I've experienced this problem before) that the really small background patterns (like 4x4 px) are causing the slowdown. Try to use, for example, 80x80 px backround pattern. Quoting Sergiu Dumitriu : Henning Sprang wrote:

It's right that the background pattern is small - at least in height it's 4, width is about 1024 so it's full-page. But enlarging it to a height of 80 did not solve the problem. Maybe another background image is the problem - I only tried with bg-GRAY.png - maybe another image is the one making problems... Henning
There are a lot of small backgrounds. Just try to disable them and you'll see that there would be no slowdown :) Quoting Henning Sprang : On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 2:25 PM, Mike A. wrote:
