research popup menu too long for netbook screens and can't scroll

Closed this issue · 2 comments

On my netbook, the Research popup menu goes to the bottom of my browser screen, ending at "Providence." Maybe there is nothing past that, maybe there is, but I cannot tell either way.

If I scroll down, the page in back scrolls, but the white popup menu remains fixed. I can't access the whole thing.

Huh - the navbar-pinned-to-top behavior is eliminated for screens small enough to trigger "tablet" or "phone" styles in Bootstrap. But it is possible to have a window wide enough to remain in desktop styles while not being tall enough to see the whole menu. This seems to be approx 575px tall by about 1024px wide. We could use a @media (max-height:500px) CSS command to either hide some menu items on smaller screens, or potentially disable the pinned-to-top style for those screens. Those changes would go in: https://github.com/jywarren/plots2/blob/master/app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

and be compiled into the minified stylesheet with the command rake assets:precompile
