Bug in 2.1.5-RELEASE GUI (edit: clear your browser cache!)
-
I was wrong - Other than screen resolution, there was another difference. On the laptop that is having the problem, I already had another site open in another tab before I opened pfsense admin console in a second tab. I close all tabs, and the browser, opened the browser with only 1 tab, went directly to the pfsense admin console and the problem was gone.
So, I guess shutting down the browser and reopening it with only pfsense up did the trick for me on that laptop.
-
Does it change when opening more tabs again??
-
I'll try and see….

Whats your OS on the laptop?
I guess we have here two issue, one with the browser cache and one with a Linux OS. -
After I shutdown and restarted the Chrome browser on windows7 pro, the issue did not reappear even if I had other tabs up first.
Its an odd issue I guess.
I can try also on my Linux machine and see what happens there, but I suspect there will be no problem.
-
OK - Tried this on Linux Mint using google chrome (Not chromium) and works fine. If its a problem with linux, its not every distro or every browser.
-
Can you test Firefox 31 as well?
-
Sure - I just did. Works fine with firefox 31 also on linux mint.
-
Thanks for testing.
Missing font problem?
-
No idea. I suspect its purely a cache problem. Like for whatever reason, your browser is holding onto data that is messing things up for you.

Found it!
On my Debian system was some more fonts, as well the "Verdana" font.
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/ttf-mscorefonts-installerI replace in the all.css fiel the following lines:
html, body, td, th, input, select { font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; <----- from font-size: 0.9em; }
html, body, td, th, input, select { font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; <----- to font-size: 0.9em; }
And it work fine!
-
Thats cool - But I suspect if there wasn't something weird going on with the new pfsense gui, we wouldn't have ever noticed such problems.
-
The "Verdana" font does not feel well on Debian Linux ;D
I guess the spacing is a little bit different which results in this broken gui. -
when here is unchecked everything is OK …

Which is in the end the similar problem. :)

This is correct. Tahoma isn't included on some operating systems. Veranda is intended for "fine print" type design applications and is a wider font, thus pushing the menu out.
-
But why run a fixed width menu and not something that adjust to simple things like that?
-
you'll have to ask whoever designed it…it's an open source project.
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D
Maybe you could point me in the right direction??
