Hi,

Mine is doing the same, have you managed to fix this?

[Niels Larsen]

No, not yet. I'm waiting for a feedback from Bruce.
I'm pretty sure it's just a little css to fix.

Hello everyone,

     I have the same issue.  Using NT 11.04 with C11.

On the options tab, there is a field for "OffSet", which according to the template reference, defaults to pixels if no units are included. But nothing I put here has an effect.

[Niels Larsen]

Nope. Still waiting....

I hope this can be fixed or else I have to concider not to use popup. My customers are not impressed as it looks at the moment.

As it stands right now nothing will happen 'till some time in February. 

Unfortunately, Bruce has decided to base everything future NT on a new, paid-for, upgrade to StringTheory (ST3) which will come out in early February. While I don't mind paying for a st-upgrade (after all, it has been many years of new functionality) I find the timing and coupling very strange. Seen from a customer perspective, we paid a fair amount of money for NT11 (Server) with not much new in it except a number of regressions. Some of them have been fixed and some are long outstanding. In fact, we've waited several months for the fixes and now we're forced to pay for an upgrade to another product in order to have the regressions fixed. All I can say is that that's not the way I would have done it (my customers would have killed me for sure). The current StringTheory version is 2.90 so there are a few updates to go before hitting the next big number, 3. It's perfectly ok if new NT-functionality requires a new paid-for ST version but I think the NT regressions should be fixed first.

Ok, I got it out.
And like I said before: I'll be absolutely happy to buy an upgrade to StringTheory - but I don't like being forced to do so and that's how I feel right now with the current staging.

Peter, I totally agree. Nor do I have the slightest against paying for development, but very much agree that it comes at an unfortunate time.
I had to go from NT10 to NT11 because of an template error.
Unfortunately, it broke quite a few other things.
I don't get much feedback on my challenges. I even wrote directly to Bruce, but without answers.
If only one could get a deadline for when things are expected to be ready.
I'm trying to stay patient a little longer ;-)

This works for  me: theme.css, based on Base theme, in
ui-dialog line, for me its in line 2532, I added margin-left 15%
/*example, works well on every browser */
ui-dialog{max-width:100%;.
margin-left:15%; /*added 18-12-2018*/
}

First up - I'm planning to address the popup-centering issue more in 11.06. I'd like to get it into 11.05, but I'm not sure there's time. The root of the issue is how the form needs to behave on small screens - so one has to be careful to make sure that it works in both cases.

Secondly the issue of the StringTheory update - I agree the timing is terrible, and not what I would have preferred.
The root of the timing is NetTalk itself - there's a bug in 11.04 which is only really resolved by moving a bunch of NetTalk code from the server object into StringTheory. I would have preferred to wait some time before doing ST 3, but it's simply not practical to wait.

Unfortunately because ST is so highly documented, and because test cases exist for everything, it's necessary to do quite a lot more work than just "moving the code". On the up side the quality of the code improves, it becomes documented (so it's ultimately more useful) and the test cases guard against future regressions. On the down side it's not an especially convenient place in the cycle to work on ST, and frankly I'd rather be doing some other things instead.

I appreciate the timing is, at best, awkward - especially for NetTalk 11 users. It's both an "enforced" cost (something I work hard to avoid) and has held up the NT release at an unfortunate time. I apologize for that - it was planned that way and was ultimately the "best of a bunch of bad options" that I had.

I am working round the clock on getting that out though, and once it is out then I can get back to getting the NetTalk updates out.

Cheers
Bruce

Bruce,

Thank you for the update.  I'm sure it'll be worth the wait in the long run.

Take care,

Don
