Overview Display Problem in Web Client

[rickster53 27]

If there happens to be a large amount of information contained in the Overview tag, the associated folder icon and information gets scrolled off the top of the screen in order to accommodate the amount of text. Can the display of this information be made a scrollable field which would eliminate this problem? See attached screen shot.

Does the Dev Team consider this a bug that will be addressed, or do I have to start trimming down much of the custom metadata I have entered? :-(

it's an issue.

You can fix it temporarily by editing .itemOverview class located in %appdata%/mediabrowser-server/system/dashboard-ui/css/librarybrowser.css

 

Looks like this currently:

 

.itemOverview {
    /*max-height: 120px;
    overflow-y: auto;*/
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

Change it to look like this:

 

.itemOverview {
    max-height: 120px;
    overflow-y: auto;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

Thanks for the suggestion Wayne, but making the change had no effect at all. Made sure I shutdown and restarted the server after the change, but no luck...

Weird could be an issue with your browser. You can add the line overflow:scroll; between the braces and see if that works for you.

...or just clean browser cache.

I tried clearing the browser cache first and that, in combination with Wayne's original edit recommendation did the trick.  The Overview area is now scrollable.  I did not try/use "overflow:scroll".   Thanks to both of you for the assist!  Guessing the option to "auto"-matically expand the area based upon the size of the text is the core of the issue...
