Google Chrome Instability

[johncorry]

If I hover over any button on the screen the vertical scroll bar appears and then disappears moving off. The screen is quite stable with firefox android 4 and saffari.
How can I stop this?

Hi John

I'm guessing (with the limited info at hand) i'd say the underlying cause would be an issue with the CSS and the :Hover selector. The CSS that is activated by the :hover selector is making something not fix correctly therefore you are getting a scrollbar.

Given the fact that in NT you are often hidden from the CSS it might be more complicated than that, but that where i'd start tracking it down.

Do you see the effect in a demo app John? I've not seen it here.
What build of Chrome are you on?

Bruce i have just tested with the basic browse(5) and also with forum software and it is fine. So it has to be something in my styles? Chrome doesn't come with a version number so I reinstalled it to check and the problem persists. I do have icons attached to buttons so I will experiment with removing those.

Yesterday I also had some weird style problems on chrome.
Reinstalling did not help, but when I deleted all browsing data it all was worked again - maybe worth a try.

I have been messing around with my custom.css removing any button styles etc. After removing most of my custom styles and suddenly I have the same instability in Firefox as in Chrome. The critical style for Firefox turned out to be
body {
    font-size: 16px;
}
Odd - does this give any clues to where to look further for the cause?

I think you would need to post an example John - It's difficult to debug style interactions without seeing them...
