Has anyone else noticed… When I have the blog or contact window in full screen and set to the horizontal view and hover over an added activity, part of the pop up mini-menu goes off screen. The trash bin is not visible. Vertical view works fine.

What area are you referring to as the mini-menu?  Most dropdowns such as the ‘Add an activity’ menu should automatically position below the button or above the button depending on the available screen space.  The trash is on the ‘desktop’ and you do need to minimize all windows to access it.

When you Hover over an added activity a small menu appears with trash, move, edit and comment.  In full screen horizontal view the left side of that menu goes off screen hiding the trash option. I’ve included a screen shot.

Thanks for the picture; that makes it clear.

This issue did occur in a very early version but was corrected long ago.  Can you delete your browser’s cached files, restart the browser and retest?  Perhaps your browser has an older version of our code cached.  Also ensure your Safari version is up to date.  I just verified that this does not occur on Mac/Windows using the current code base and Safari 3.1.2 Thanks…

Ok I’ll do the cache cleanse. btw… I’m using Firefox 3.0.3 on an Win XP machine.

Sorry, for some reason I thought you were using Safari.  Tested okay with FF 3.0.3 as well.

It is still happening in Firefox and Explorer.  Is it maybe because my screen is 1440x900?

No, my brain just thinks it’s still the weekend…now I understand all the variables (I think).

The hover element is placed in a relative position offset from the activity it is targeting so it does not cover up the title of the activity.  In the horizontal view, with the window maximized this will push it slightly off the edge of the browser.

I have been monitoring this thread because I have the same issue. 

Good to know that I’m not crazy . . . .

Is there a “fix” for this?

Currently the method to get it back is to “restore” the window state i.e. not maximized.  We might have a solution in the works connected to some other changes; not certain of timing though as it’s considered a low priority at the moment.
