Website is broken?
Dam-Buty opened this issue · 8 comments
Hi,
I was window-shopping for a new project of mine, and the PocketGrid website appeared broken in my browser :
(up-to-date Chromium on Arch Linux with i3wm, 1201px wide)
Needless to say it doesn't sell the grid system well to see it break on my config :/
Hi,
Did you check it also on another computer/browser ?
I haven't seen anything broken on my side, looks the same like always.
Well for me it is broken on my two different screens (1200+px and 1900+px wide). If i resize the chromium window, it keeps breaking in new and unexpected ways.
I'm not going to run a test suite to determine what is broken, just telling you that if your grid system breaks on standard modern browsers such as Chromium this is going to deter a lot of developpers. Personally i went with another CSS grid framework because if PocketGrid doesn't even work on your own homepage i can only imagine the nightmare of integrating it inside one of my own projects...
No problems here (Chromebook, Win10 with FF, Chrome, Edge), no problems on the sites I have built, as far as I can see. No complaints from my clients either until now but of course I don't know which OS they use.

That's really weird then... What kind of config do you test your framework against?
On my chromebook there is no problem, but no way to have it look good on my work computer. Whatever way i resize my browser window there is overlap and bugginess.
I have no idea what could be causing this, especially when there is nothing outrageously weird about my config. And i've never had this kind of problem with any other grid system so... weird...
I can give more info if needed.
Possible pointer : i'm using i3-gaps as my window manager, so the browser windows never really have the whole width of the screen. With a 20px gap on each side that leaves 1880px available for Chromium on my 1920-wide monitor. If your grid system relies heavily on standard screen widths then maybe that's the cause of the breakage...
To be clear: it's not my system but I have used it on some sites.
I don't think the system relies on standard screen widths (do they exist?)
but in percentages of the viewport afaik. I'm no professional and English
is not my native langguage which makes it harder to explain, maybe someone
else could point you to a possible clue.
I hope so!
Vriendelijke groet,
Hans

For me it is broken on Firefox 52 on Linux Mint 18.1. Looks just like the problem screenshot above at any window size or browser zoom level. Chromium 56 on same system renders just fine.
Interestingly enough, the issue is not apparent on FF 52 on Windows, only on my Linux laptop.
