(RH 2020) Review window cuts off right half of content

[martinl83372021]

Hi, Everyone.

In RH 2020, the online review window is cutting off the right side of the page, without any way to scroll to it (screenshot, below).

Any advice for me? Thank you!

Dumb question, but I haven't ever tried the online review feature. If you use the vertical scroll bar I can see, and go right to the bottom of the page, is there a horizontal scroll bar there?

[Peter Grainge]

When you set up a review to the left of what is in the screenshot in the Active Reviews panel you should see a list of topics. As you double click each one, they should open in the areas shown in separate tabs. You seem to have got two topics open in one tab. I can't tell from your limited screenshot.

I have tried using the Split option by right clicking tabs but it still doesn't look like your screenshot.

Have you tried closing the review and reopening it?

If that is one topic, it has been suggested that you may have set a page width and are using a two column table.

Thanks, Amber. No, there is no horizontal scroll bar.

Peter, no it's not two topics. It's one topic with a two-column layout (via two-cell table).

I've just tried closing and re-opening the review (and have dumped my browser cache). No change.

One thing I've noticed is how two other pages in the review display just fine. And the review displays those two pages with much narrower columns than they have in the actual document (Screenshot A). The page that gets cut off is handled differently. The review seems to adjust its column-widths only slightly more narrowly (screenshot B).

Peter, when you say, "If that is one topic, it has been suggested that you may have set a page width and are using a two column table," can you give me more guidance?  

Yes, I am using a two-column table to set up the two-column layout.

I'm looking at the table properties of the three pages. And they all look the same (screenshot).  

(Where do I look for "page width"?) 

Thank you!

The scroll bar is that little bit of dark grey in you first screen shot. 

Page width might have been set for the body tag in your CSS.

Here's the body tag of my CSS (screenshot 1):

There's the vertical scroll bar (Screenshot 2), but no horizontal scroll bar, even when scrolled to the very bottom.

It's looking the table is not playing nicely with Review. We can test that tomorrow.

Are there any images in the topic? If there are, then duplicate the topic and remove the images in the copy. Does that play nicely with the review?

SOLUTION!

Peter, good idea re. images. Turns out, images aren't the problem. It's tables (tables within the two-cell table layout), like this:

Actually, I have found one other thing that I think is problematic - a set of drop-downs did not open (screenshot 2):

Thanks, Peter, I've submitted my bug report to the Tracker.

Here's the link to it:  https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/RH-8928 

PS:  I no longer think it's the table-within-a-table that's causing this issue. I've removed it, but the issue persists.

Seems I'm experiencing the same issues with the latest RH 2022.3.93 . At first no scroll bar displayed in Chrome. But the scrollbar showed up but with no text - only highlight that I've added with the Review tool.

Import that one topic into a new project that uses the same CSS, Send that to me.
