Two strange white lines in Firefox #76

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This started with version 185 and is still in 186 and seems to only be a 
problem in Firefox.

There are two white lines that appear in the picture. This only happen on pages 
where SIGPLUS is implemented. As far as I can tell it is the upper left corner 
of the lightbox.

Seems to be a conflict with Flashblock 1.5.17. When I disable Flashblock, no 
more lines!

The next-generation boxplus lightbox pop-up window that comes with sigplus 
1.5.x has an in-built HTML <object> element that allows playing Flash video 
using the MooTools framework class Swiff. The size of this element matches the 
size of the pop-up window. This descendant element of the pop-up window must be 
the one that Flashblock recognizes as an object to block, and in turn causes 
the strange white markers to appear, even if the HTML <object> element would 
never in fact appear on the screen unless the pop-up window is to show video.

Since this issue is very specific to a particular browser extension, the 
priority of this issue has been lowered.

I have installed the Flashblock extension for Firefox, and I could reproduce 
the white lines intersecting at a right angle. However, I feel that the issue 
should be addressed in Flashblock and not in sigplus. The white lines are part 
of a Flashblock object, placed on the webpage to suppress a Flash object. The 
Flash object Flashblock appears to suppress is part of a feature in boxplus 
that is responsible for showing video. However, this Flash object is never 
actually shown; it remains permanently hidden, with its CSS "display" set to 
"none", unless you have a video. It is Flashblock that assumes (incorrectly) 
that any action is required on its part, which eventually leads to the white 
lines.

This issue should be reported in the Flashblock issue tracker instead.
