Flashing, resizing at http://geodata.tufts.edu/ #6

Using Chrome version 25.0.1364.152, the Tufts interface seems to act like the user is resizing with the map and most icons on the right side of the map moving along with the number of results moving from 24 to 25 per page. I just upgraded Chrome to see if this issue was related to the version but the problem remains.

Hi Daniel,

Can you give some more specifics about your machine (OS) and your chrome install (what plugins/extensions are you using)? I don't get the same results for the same version of Chrome for OS 10.8 or for Windows 7.

Does there seem to be some series of actions that triggers this behavior?

Other possibilities:

  1. a particular window size, or range of sizes.
  2. caching; an older version of some javascript is being cached, causing unexpected behavior in combination with newer code.

Hi Chris,

This just happened for our site. I suspect it is a sizing issue and it seemed to go away when resized. It no longer appears in either our site or your site. I did notice that the basemap button on your site did not work on the same browser.

Thanks for looking into this. I'll let you know if I see it again.

Daniel

I just noticed this bug report here. I saw this behavior elsewhere, as well. In my case, at least, this was caused by Google's "Do you want me to translate this" message that shows up when Chrome thinks the page is in another language. This resizes the browser window, which causes another search to happen, which resets the search results, which causes the translate message, etc. I could reproduce it by finding a search results that had titles in another language. The fix that worked for me was to add:

<meta name="google" value="notranslate">

to the head of the page. This suppresses the message in Chrome, though it's not specifically documented, so it feels like a bit of a hack and kind of ham-handed. It would also probably be possible to fix it by throttling the function that does the searching.
