Re: Upgrade to 2019 R2 problems
I'm seeing several concerning posts here about R2. If a past release was too wonky (as this one seems), did MadCap release a patched version?

Re: dropDownHead vs dropDownHotspot
FIXED (see the bottom for the solution) So this seems random. I use a lot of dropdowns for my online help (see my post above ^^^ ). All is working as expected in the online help, but not in ONE chapter of the PDF. In my PDF output, I have a chapter with four dropdowns that have multiple sub-dropdow...

Word Output - Top/Bottom margins don't match PageLayout
Surprised I didn't find this problem on here, so maybe I've set up something odd in my project. Anyway. PDF output is fine. Word output creates a top page margin of 2.04" and a bottom margin of 1.86". In Frame, the PageLayout margin is 1" top/bottom. The workaround is simple, and in t...

Re: Capture cross-hairs are off (inaccurate)
The following thread goes through possible workarounds. It seems to be a problem with the zoom function of the laptop (if you have your default view zoomed up to, like, 125%):

Re: Question about creating multi-level drop-downs
I have a lot of nested dropdowns, so I'll discuss what I've done. There could be better ways, but this works for me, so I haven't looked for any other methods :) As you noticed, the "Move" option simply isn't available for dropdowns. As with any nesting, the easiest way is to create the ch...

Re: IT'S BAAAACK: What's wrong with my fade in/out code?
Well, still confused. To diagnose, I copied my "backtotop" elements over to the default side nav template project I created (in theory, this is baseline side navigation). The "fade in" still didn't work. To be clear, the "back to top" element does work if I keep it disp...

Re: IT'S BAAAACK: What's wrong with my fade in/out code?
Thanks, Dave. You were right about the CSS/fixed position problem and that's now fixed. As for the fade in/out, my custom stylesheet doesn't have a div.body-container defined in it. I see that the sidenav stylesheet has "html.home-topic .body-container." I linked the sidenav CSS to my own,...

Re: IT'S BAAAACK: What's wrong with my fade in/out code?
Upgraded to r2018 and am trying out the new side navigation skin. Had some problems with the skin I've worked through, but the "back to top" image and fade in/out code stopped working. First, the FIXED position isn't fixing it in the correct place (see the code in the original post above)....

Re: Wrapped SMALL Words in PDF Tables
Huzzah. Started playing with padding. When I built my css I put the "cell" padding inside the table's paragraph tags (p.tableBody, p.tableHeader). So I removed it from the paragraph tags and put it in the th, td tags. And it worked!! No more weird word wrapping. I assume this was a "r...

Re: Search submit button appearing above search bar
Curious to see the answer. This happened to me, except the search button appeared partially below the search bar. I think the reason was because something in my css was causing all pages to have a width smaller than the width set in the skin. I tested using the default stylesheet and the search butt...

Re: SOLVED: How do I change the glossary term popup containe
To get rid of the arrow, it's done in the following style. You might have to add it to your css using an external text editor. I only use a text editor for my css so I don't know if there's a way to add a style using Flare's Stylesheet Editor.
Code: Select all
.MCTextPopupArrow
{
display: none;
}
