Overflow Issues[]

Scripts and styles with long strings all on one line don't have correct overflow properties. Under div.pre there needs to be overflow:scroll; or something along the lines of that.

Do you have an example? div.pre isn't a valid selector afaik, so I'm not sure what you're referring to. cqm 08:14, 9 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Simply just use

pre, source, syntaxhighlight {
overflow:scroll;
}

and it should work.

Sorry, but where is this an issue exactly? cqm 21:01, 9 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Example in Monobook.

Ah, I see it now. I've copied over the styling from oasis, although I've left out source and syntaxhighlight as those are only tags in wikitext, not HTML - they're parsed and end up being pre. cqm 06:50, 11 Jul 2015 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Wouldn’t it be better to have those long lines wrap? I have it set globally for me to have those lines wrap, and it’s much better … in my humble opinion. :) — Spike Toronto 09:14, July 11, 2015 (UTC)

Though wrap would solve the issue, it makes scripts harder to follow since they just randomly cut off.

CSS Reversal[]

Well I'm glad that happened. The custom CSS was very un-aesthetically pleasing. — Ozank 18:21, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
