Compiler GUI behaving weirdly with firefox 15.0 / 15.0.1

07 Sep 2012

Hi!

One of these days I started having problems with the online compiler. I am using Firefox 15.0 (also the same problem in 15.0.1). The compiler output window/ search results window is somehow behind the main code window. I can see the edge of the compiler output / search results window, but the main code window is on it blocking most of it. This behavior is not seen immediately when I start using the compiler, but after some time. Also, the compiler starts working properly if I reload the page. Reloading the page of course takes some time and you have to open all the code windows again.

I think the problem might have something to do with the Firefox 15 update, which also was one of these days. In Chrome I do not experience any problems.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Axel,

I'm unable to reproduce it with the latest Firefox (15.0.1).
Are you using any specific Firefox addons?
Also what is your browser resolution?
It would help a lot to identify the issue if you take a screenshot as well.
If the privacy is a concert to you, then feel free to send them to me via private message.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mihail!

Thank you for your fast response!

I am using some National instrument LabVIEW addons, otherwise just standard plugins as Microsoft Office, Adobe acrobat, Java, Shockwave falsh, sliverlight, windows media player, etc. (see the list at the bottom)

My screen resolution is 1280x800 and I am using firefox in fullscreen with as much toolbars etc. removed as you can see from the screenshot. At first I could not reproduce the error myself either, but then it appeared directly after the compilation gave a varning:

"variable "AO_SwitchesAndLEDs" was declared but never referenced" in file "/AO-SwitchesAndLEDs.cpp", Line: 30, Col: 16

I tried to reproduce the error again with the same code, but it did not work. After some minutes I tried to add a file to the project, compile and then remove it, after which the browser failed again. But I was not able to reproduce this either.
