No preview window with Google chrome on posts
« on: April 20, 2009, 09:45:35 PM »
Hi
I usually use Google chrome for my browser but when I create a post and click preview the preview window only opens far enough to show one line of text. It gives you scroll bars but you can't preview as it scrolls at least 3 lines with one click.
I am using IE for this post and it works fine but after using Chrome IE is slow and just plain crap.
This is the only problem I have had with chrome being compatible with web sites.
Any sugestions anyone?

Cheers, Chris

Just testin with Chrome... Nope, works fine for me. I can see my post in preview and I've got a normal window to keep editing my post...

Whoops, hang on, I see what you mean now. That IS crappy!

Lessee now, I'll edit with IE7. Mmmm... much better. Wonder what Safari does? Ummm... Yech! Same as Chrome but without the scroll bars!

So, as far as I can see it only works in IE. Anyone tried Firefox?

I have been using Firefox for years, it works fine for me.

I just previewed this one, it works fine.

I tried Chrome with PC sometime ago and I didn't have probs (was undecided if it was any better than others, just different - it promised to be faster, if it was it was marginal). I then got a new iMac, tried Chrome and had conflicts including no preview. I now use Firefox with iMac, no probs ;) :).
