Don't ignore the scrollbar width #2

I just tried Blipshot with Chrome 17 on Mac OS X 10.7.3 and it works very easy and reliable but it makes a narrower screenshot than full width because it ignores the part of the scrollbar. If the extension would wait 1-2 seconds the scrollbar would be gone and it could take a screenshot over the full width. Even if it takes a little bit longer that would be very nice. Thanks

You're right. I need to look into it, because unfortunately I don't have "control" on it and I don't know how to recognize if the scrollbar is showing or not.

Do you know anything about it? Any pointer maybe? :)

Sorry, I don't know. Maybe http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=111266 or http://scheyeniam.blogspot.com/2011/07/mac-osx-lion-reverse-scrolling-and.html is helpful!?

folletto commented 12 years ago

I'll check then, thanks! :D

MaluNoPeleke commented 12 years ago

Any updates on this?

folletto commented 12 years ago

Yes and no.

The way to solve it seems to be related, again, to this issue from Chromium: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=45209

And until that gets implemented, scrollbars, static elements and iframes are going to be a problem. I wasn't able to find any workaround in the meantime unfortunately. :(

If you can, please vote and comment that issue, so it gets a higher priority. Thanks! :)

But maybe you could add a workaround!? If the extension would wait 1-2 seconds the scrollbar would be gone and it could take a screenshot over the full width. step for step.

Yes but:

  1. The scrollbar will appear again when you scroll, so... I should wait more than 2-4 seconds for each step. That would be incredibly slow.
  2. The scrollbar view is variable: sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't (not only on Windows, but also Mac when you connect a mouse)

So... no way for now. :(
