[jsword-devel] [JIRA] Commented: (BD-173) For modules with a RtL script, the study notes pane becomes variable width

[DM Smith (JIRA)]

    [ http://www.crosswire.org/bugs/browse/BD-173?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=22773#comment-22773 ] 

DM Smith commented on BD-173:
-----------------------------

This is really unfortunate. The CSS for the page specifies 20% for notes and 80% for text. However, this is not followed by the renderer that Java provides. It seems that there is a need for TABLE { width:100% }.

I'm trying to figure out a simple way for you to see/test this with the current and/or nightly build.

> For modules with a RtL script, the study notes pane becomes variable width, with the unfortunate result that any passage with a very long footnote causes the pane to be so wide as to require horizontal scrolling, the main biblical text being shifted so far to the right of the window.
> The problem seems to be that the automatic word wrapping of notes text which occurs in LtR scripts does not come into play for RtL scripts.
> First observed in the module GLK that I have installed manually, after extracting it from the download at http://gilakmedia.com/en/software
> The module is for the Gospel of John in Gilaki, which is a minority language of Iran.
> The issue is especially observable in John 1, as John 1:51 contains a very long note.
