Tell HN: GitHub organizations pages layout is messed up

2 pointslooshch4y ago2 comments

on any GH organization page (e.g. https://github.com/vim) there is an unnecessary horizontal scroll. It’s such a shame to make so trivial errors and not catching them on QA stage. I don’t recall something similar before microsoft acquisition. Also about a month ago I reported a bug which displayed inconsistent languages ratio on a random page refresh. It was impossible for me to find the bug report page without googling, nothing changed since

I only get the horizontal scrollbar when zoomed in on that Vim org page (macOS, Firefox)

just tested on macOS in Firefox, Chrome and Safari: got horizontal scrolling. On iOS in Chrome and Safari there is no scroll but a white line on the right. Of course it doesn’t reveal because macOS like to hide scrollbars but if I try to scroll right, there is a little scrollable space. You can try this

  document.getElementsByClassName("gutter-condensed gutter-lg flex-column flex-md-row d-flex")[0].clientWidth
  document.getElementsByClassName("gutter-condensed gutter-lg flex-column flex-md-row d-flex")[0].style.width = '100%'
  document.getElementsByClassName("gutter-condensed gutter-lg flex-column flex-md-row d-flex")[0].clientWidth

edit: add code to spot the bug
