Chrome 18 messes up the Show As window

[dpvc]

Chrome 18 on the Mac doesn't allow the source window to be resized to its correct size after it has been opened (probably a security change), and on Windows 7 the window doesn't seem to finish opening properly, and can't be accessed. Needs more testing to find out what is going on.

What are the 'show as' menu items meant to do? They do nothing for me.

I have Chrome and a pop-up blocker. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nmpeeekfhbmikbdhlpjbfmnpgcbeggic

The show-as menu produce a pop-up with the relevant code (either TeX or MathML). The pop-up is the best (well, least-bad really) solution for copy&paste.

Since you have a pop-up blocker installed, you won't be able to see it.

Thanks. I like maths and I dislike (most) pop-ups. Do you know box I could uncheck to allow Mathjax?

I would recommend unchecking them one by one to see which is blocking it. I suspect it is the first one (possibly the fourth). But you may not want to uncheck that permanently, as it is probably the most important one in preventing unwanted pop-ups.

It looks like this has been fixed. At least it works in Chrome 21 (not sure which version first fixed it). I don't have old versions to test with, so am not sure whether to try to do anything about past versions. With the aggressive way that Chrome updates itself automatically, it probably won't be a problem for long.

I do encounter this on Chromium (the purely open-source version of Chrome). It's often a default on linux distributions these days and usually lags behind several version (e.g., in Ubuntu 12.04 it's still Chrome 18-based).

Which doesn't mean that we can't ignore this, just wanted to add the information.

FYI, I installed the "official" Chrome version on the EC2 Linux machine (I think the ChromeDriver didn't work very well with Chromium). The version number is 21.0.1180.79

I'll see if I can get my hands on an older version to do the testing. Without that I may not be able to do anything about it, since I won't be able to debug what it happening wrong.

It turns out this is causing issue #245 as well. The issue245 branch of my fork of MathJax should resolve the problem.
