Capablanca - UI Draw issue

#1

Hi, so I am seeing a bug in the UI where the buttons are hidden given a specific set of requirements:

In MIQ: Infrastructure -> Virtual Machines -> All VMs & Templates and have expanded my Datacenter on the left ribbon and have a number of VMs that is greater than the screen so that the ribbon scrolls beyond the height of the page.

These are the steps:

  • Scroll down and select a VM that is not visible on page load
  • Switch to Clouds, Containers, or another page from the top nav bar
  • Switch back to Infrastructure/Virtual Machines

Result:

The buttons for Configuration, Power, Lifecycle for the VM are seemingly hidden behind the top nav bar.

Can anyone else replicate this behavior?

Hey @kincl,

can you add a screenshot for what you’re seeing?

Sure, here we are. Apologies for the weird blackouts.

Here is the shot after selecting a VM before switching to another screen (like Clouds or Containers)

And here is the shot after clicking back to Virtual Machines, notice how everything is shifted up?

Looks like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1300093, I’m looking into it…

@kincl which version of ManageIQ are you using please? Is it newer or older than the master branch from 18th December?

Also, does the behaviour seem to be browser-dependent?

EDIT: https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/pull/5869 , the change in app/views/layouts/_content.html.haml should fix it for you, I hope :slightly_smiling:

@himdel that PR fixes the bug I was seeing, thanks for that!

One thing I noticed, when the screen redraws the left ribbon does not make the currently selected machine visible, not a dealbreaker by any stretch but could be a UX issue.

Thanks a bunch!

Great :slightly_smiling:!

As for making the machine visible, we’re in the process of changing the tree display component, so I can try looking into that afterwards…
