Google Search page broken again
Hello,

Google search page (Alternate Display) is broken again, each word producing a New Line (see picture attached)

Turning "Google Search: Alternate Display" filter gives a normal display. They once more introduced a new crap in their code !

RE: Google Search page broken again
Which browser are you using? I think this might be a browser bug.

I've seen this twice, only while using CoolNovo Version 2.0.9.11 (base on Chromium 27.0.1453.110), right after updating from 2.0.8.33.

"Alternate Display" has worked since restarting CoolNovo 2.0.9.11.

RE: Google Search page broken again
I'm using Firefox 12.0, Sidki's set 2011-12-22rc1 - Filter = "Google Search: Alternate Display 13.05.01 (multi) [sd ku] (d.s)"

It started to be broken yesterday, and restarting Firefox doesn't ameliorate. I've restarted Firefox a dozen times with no success.

I tried these browsers, all with the same Proxo: Portable Firefox 3.019, 7.01 = display ok
Chrome 14.0.835.202 = ok

After that, I renamed the folder containing my Firefox program in order to be able to try other versions of Fox, then tried Firefox 11.0 = text is half-page wide but ok.
Tried an older copy of Fox 12 = ok.
Now, I've just restored the same nasty copy of Firefox 12, and Google search now looks ok, normal. With the same copy, without having done anything. I just changed it's folder name to "Firefox-12" then renamed it "Firefox" and it was back to normal. All that without rebooting ...

Really strange ! Computers are really lunatic, these days.

Anyhow, thanks JJoe, thanks to your advice about the browser possibly being in fault. It led me to recover a normal display.

Hi all,

I have the exact same problem with Google Advanced Search, the Alternate Display filter of Proxomitron and Firefox for some days now. Does one of you Gurus have a solution?

Best regards
Thomas

RE: Google Search page broken again
I occasionnally encounter this issue again from time to time.

I dare suppose the guys at Google have change some code that meets a Firefox weakness.

The only solution I found is close Firefox and Proxo totally, and start them again. Most of the times, it works normally then.

RE: Google Search page broken again
I am also seeing this again. They are using

Code:
<div class="col" style="width:0">
<div id="leftnavc"></div></div><div class="col" style="width:0">

For now, the attached filter seems to work. Forum software won't let me post it...

Ya know, if they want to say hello, they could just post. Wink
