Hello a very minor thing but nonetheless annoying. When I clink the 'topics with unread posts' icon the title bar in the pop up box in chrome has around the top 20px chopped off. I also notice that I have image ghosting when I move the pop up box around the screen.

Any ideas?

looks like your wp theme is giving that dark brown bar a serious z-index...  can you check with firebug?

if they give it a high z-index than the popup dialog, it will be underneath... highest is shown on top...  kind of abnormal but no necessarily wrong for a theme to do that...

you may have to change the z-index of your sp theme dialog to be larger than that dark brown tab...

So this would be in the css tab in firebug? I ask because I do not see any z index other than the value of 1002 for the pop-up itself. The theme is quite old and I do not recall ever seeing any z values in the stylesheet. Besides, would that not manifest itself in all browsers?

I'm only seeing it in Chrome.

...and I am betting if you close the popup and then open it a second time then all is good?

If so this a problem with webkit browsers - the same in Safari - and currently we need either the webkit team or the jQuery UI team to correct it. I am monitoring this hoping it all gets fixed up soon.

Hi Andy if this was the query that you referred to, then unfortunately no. If you close and open a dozen times it will occasionally open correctly but 80-90% of the time it doesn't.
