Author Message  holycow Member Username: holycow Post Number: 2028 Registered: 08-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - 11:13 am:     Referring to this post 1) it seems there's some kind of changes to the message format (width) that most of the messages I am seeing are truncated at the end as shown by the graphic. I am using a screen resolution of 1024X768, mozilla browser with font size 18, 96dpi - I suspect this may affect more than just me. Graphic captured showing end of sentence had been truncated... ...just to be sure, here is another example from Dug's post, the beige colour border shows where the problem is. Cheers.

I also use Mozilla and have not noticed this. Thanks Colin  holycow Member Username: holycow Post Number: 2030 Registered: 08-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - 01:00 pm:     Colin, Thanks for the prompt response. I have set my minimum font size to 18 as a means to reduce stress on my eyes. This problem appears when the message I am reading is wider (or longer) than the screen resolution (the horizonal scroll bar appears at the bottom of the screen and you have to scroll right to read the rest of the message) - when this condition appears, the "message formatting function" I suspect attempts to format/frame the text to a certain width (as indicated by the colours dark tint against white, or beige against white) - that is when I notice the truncation of text. It seems the formatting of text is based on some dimension (as in inch or mm) instead of in character length and wrap the text to a new line - just guessing here. Also, for some reason, this problem only appears intermittently and only since "that time" where all the message colour were turned to blue not too long ago. However, this is not a major problem for me, so please let's not spend too much time on this unless it affects other readers. Cheers and thanks for your help.

Regards Colin
