Hi,

We have noticed text flows across column boundaries or around images on page layout when using text blocks.  I may be wrong, but I don't think this is a theme issue because the same problem occurred when I changed to a different theme (see attached images below).

Does anyone know why this is happening and how we can resolve it please?  We have Mahara v15.04.3 installed.

Regards,

Remy

Hi Remy,

I've added a bug report for this issue:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1506685

And I've added a patch to fix the issue here:

https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/5541/

Essentially this

.blockinstance-content {
    word-break: break-all;
}

It will make the text with no spaces in it wrap more sensibly

Cheers

Robert

Hi Robert,

I've just been informed there's still a problem - please see attached images.  The patch worked for the pages I created to test the error but doesn't seem to have worked for some pages.

Any thoughts?

Hi Remy,

I'm wondering if the pages that still have the problem have some specific css/styles embedded in the blocks.

Sometimes a cut/paste from elsewhere can bring style information with it and that can be saved along with the contextual content.

Is that happening in this case?

Cheers

Or a page skin.

Thanks both.

I'll pass Aaron's suggestion on to the users and update this post if / when we find out what's going on.

Just an update on this.

I can confirm likely causes of remaining text flow problems seem to have been 'copy and paste' style sheet / page skin related.  As far as we know at this point, the patch have indeed resolved the issue.

Thanks again Robert / Aaron.

Regards,

Remy
