Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/16729 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: node system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: syscrusher Updated by: syscrusher Status: active The bug also bit me on the drupal.org site. I finished a new module and tried to create a project to announce it, but one of the required fields in the node/add/... page for Project has the CSS bug. I had to switch to Firefox in order to create the project, because I couldn't enter the data from Konqueror. syscrusher Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 4, 2005 - 00:33 : syscrusher Certain versions of the Konqueror browser have a serious problem with form input in Drupal 4.4.x and 4.5.x. The symptoms are that keyboard and mouse input is completely ignored in the affected "text" and "textarea" fields. The symptoms only occur on textual fields that occur within a <fieldset>...</fieldset> tag set. This occurs, for example, when the form_group() API function is invoked. I have tested several variants on the fieldset attributes, and as far as I can tell it doesn't matter what attributes are applied. I also tried it with a manually-created <fieldset><input type="text" ... /></fieldset> sequence, to eliminate the subtags such as legend, description, and title. The problem occurs even with a bare fieldset, and immediately goes away when the form elements are used without being in a fieldset. I further tested to ensure that the <table> tag was not involved, because a Google search suggested that there were problems with tables and fieldsets in Konqueror. Again, the problem is duplicable with no table in the fieldset. It took a lot of digging, but I have finally traced the problem to the file misc/drupal.css. Specifically, the following clause appears to be at fault: .node-form fieldset { display: inline; } If I comment out the "display: inline;" attribute, then the fields work correctly. There does not appear to be any ill effect from this so far, but I haven't tested extensively nor have I tested to see if this patch breaks any other browsers. I can duplicate this problem across several patch levels of Konqueror 3.3.0, and across Drupal 4.5.0 through 4.5.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 4, 2005 - 01:14 : syscrusher I've verified that the patch doesn't break Firefox 1.0, and also that it /does/ fix the problem with Konqueror 3.3.0 in Drupal 4.4, on one of my production sites. Incidentally, the problem doesn't occur with older Konqueror versions, as far as I can tell. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 26, 2005 - 14:15 : Steven I believe that piece of CSS is there for IE5, but I can't remember if it was for Windows or Mac. I'll do some testing later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 26, 2005 - 15:00 : Junyor Works fine in Safari and Opera with or without that rule. IE 5 seems to have the same problem with or without it. In 4.5.2, the fieldsets aren't displayed at all. In HEAD, they cross the screen, pushing everything else down. In other words, it doesn't seem to have any bad effects on Mac browsers with or without that rule. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 26, 2005 - 15:09 : syscrusher BTW, I can also duplicate this bug with the CVS version of Drupal 4.6 as of 2005-03-24. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 27, 2005 - 07:28 : stefan nagtegaal I can verify that this works flawlesly with drupal 4.6 and any Mac browser.. It would be nice if this would be applied..
