Text Lines OverLaps in the Help Menus Display Window

Text Lines OverLaps in the Help Menus Display Window

  Hi Paul,

   

  I have one more question about this.

   

  I pulled the latest driver for my vid card, and then checked some of the pages where I had received the errors in the text display.

   

  It seems to always be in sections of java source text. Is there a snapfue with the ongoing Java war with Sun that might cause this

   

  Does MS have any new Java requirements that might fix this

   

  Thanks for your help.

  Hmm, and perhaps there is one more reason ... like most companies I've worked for, no one reads the documentation before it's released. QA glosses over a couple pages and calls it done.

  Great, Thanks for the help and the reply.

  Dell 8100 - NVIDIA / 4.4.8.2

   

  1. It was setup with "Online First - Then Local"

   

  2. It was "External", I changed to internal-VS IDE, same deal.

   

  3. It works great in "Explorer" here is the URI I was looking at, the bug is half way down.;

  4. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f7w81h6c.aspx

   

  I checked the same thing out on my desktop = same problem, same results.

   

  I have noticed this on several pages, but most do not have this bug.

  I have noticed that it happens where the page has the "Tip">Tip or "Note">Note entrys. Almost like it was trying to be a rollup or something.

   

  Let me know if I can do any more to help. I really like the new Help system, except for this one bug and it is a little slow to close on my P3 1.2 g laptop. Alright on the P4 2.8g desktop

  This is a bug in MSDN Online, and the fix should be rolled out in the next couple of weeks. So after Feb. 15 or so you should not see this problem any more.

  I get the same problem. I can't believe this made it through the beta cycle. What a shame.

  Thanks for getting back to us. I've been able to reproduce the problem here.

  No, there's no new Java requirements. This just appears to be a text rendering bug. We'll look into getting it fixed for future versions of the document viewer.

  I expect there are two reasons why this wasn't reported during beta:

  1. The final documentation came in very late during the beta cycle, and in fact there were warning notes at the top of the beta documentation saying that it was not final.

  2. The overlapped rendering bug is exposed by some specific layout tags used on the help content. My guess (although I haven't researched it) is that these tags weren't present on earlier builds of the documentation.

  Somebody else reported this recently. I don't think we've had a chance to debug it yet.
  
  Can you tell us what video card you have and what driver you're using You can get this information from the Advanced tab on Display properties (right click on the desktop and select Properties, or get to the same UI via the Control Panel)
  
  Also:
  1. Are you using online help or local help
  2. Are you viewing help within the Visual Studio IDE or in the external "Microsoft Document Explorer"
  3. If you copy and paste the URL from the help page and paste it into Internet Explorer's address box, do you see the same corruption
  4. Can you give us the URL as an example of one of the pages that is corrupted (The link you put in the original post was to a local file on your machine, so no-one else can read it).
