Big white box obscures the body of meta.stackoverflow.com

Image Two:

I circled the areas where I see issues. The content is covered. Two images are necessary to show what's happening in its entirety.

Description: Questions are covered.

Expected: See questions from the top of the page.

Actual result: I need to scroll to the bottom of the page to get a horizontal scroll bar so that I can see questions.

I'll try to adjust my browser's style sheet, but I haven't done it before. If there's any update, I'll let you know.

  • Can't repro this in Chrome latest, no matter what size I make my fonts. They can be absolutely ginormous without triggering the "Giant White Box" preference.

  • @cody, Yi Jiang has the correct answer, but he has not posted it as an answer.

  • The problem is fixed when you change the font size? Even if I jack the font size way up, I get a site that looks like this. Not exactly beautiful, but completely usable. At least I can still see everything. The issue has been reported before (see link provided by Popular Demand) but no one on the dev team seems to be able to reproduce it.

  • @cody, there's more than one way to increase font size. Browse: chrome://settings/advanced. Go to the font size drop-down menu and select "very large".

  • That's exactly what I did... Maybe it's an OS issue. I can't tell from the scrollbars if that's an old version of Windows or XWindows.

  • Yes. I confirmed it fixes it to turn it to medium.

  • @cody os: XP. Maybe so. I saw an answer on Stack Overflow that suggested a fix for this issue within CSS. Create a hidden DIV and put a letter inside of it. Base the stylesheet on the size of the DIV.
