Re: [Dhis2-users] Overlapping text in DHIS2 UI

 

HI,



Thank you so much Calle and the whole DHIS family. I will go through that
process to ensure that the settings are changed back.



Regards,



David

David,



I found the problem: some user had changed the setting under
"Profile->Settings->Interface" from "Light blue" to "Myanmar" - as soon as
I changed that back for ONE user it resolved the problem.  I also changed
the same setting under Apps->Settings->Style, but that did not seem to do
anything.



Should be OK now - please check.



Regards

Calle

Hi Alex,



Have cleared the cache over and over but it does not help at all.

Dear David,



Please ensure that the cache is cleared when the user is logging in. There
is a possibility of mismatched download of metadata or userSettings.

Hi Calle,



The problem is consistent, it does not vary from session to session.



I will have to investigate further on specific priviliges or settings in
common amongst the affected users. Let me get back to you later on this one.

Knut,



That was my first thought too - but it would not explain why only some
users have this issue when using exactly the same database and machine....



David,



Some more questions:

1. is the problem consistent for those specific users, or will it vary from
session to session?

2. Do those affected users have any specific settings or privileges in
common? (like e.g. do they have private dashboards?)



regards

Does this apply to the most recent versions of Chrome and Firefox also?



Or perhaps it did indeed start after an update of these browsers?

Hi Calle,



I have tried the screen resolution as well but no difference, the texts
remains overlapping.



For further clarity, we have been using this version for some months now,
and this only started happening a few days ago.



Regards,



David

Hi



Just a clarification note: the build number seems "abnormal" because this
is a build with a few Southern African additions. So the underlying core
build would be from mid-February 2016 (2.20).



None of those additions would affect or cause the above issue, though.



David - have you tried to experiment with screen resolution, to see if it
appears the same way with a different resolution (but same user)?



regards

Calle

Dear DHIS community,



We are using DHIS2 (Version: 2.20, Build revision: 16795, Build date:
2016-02-23 09:07). We recently started experiencing a problem when using
chrome or Firefox where words appears overlapping as depicted in the
picture below. The Apps and Profile icons and texts as well as the list of
apps appears normal.





This is not affecting all users, but affects specific users in different
user groups including superusers. Testing using the same computer proves
that the affected user will see scrambled/overlapping texts but when the
other user logs in, the system appears normal, that made us to rule out the
cache issues as the same machine reacts differently when used by different
users.



We also verified the language settings both under profiles settings as well
as under the user app. They are all set to English as the interface
language and database language is set to “use database locale/no
translation”.



Again this is only affecting Chrome and Firefox, however internet explorer
is displaying all text normal.



Are the any settings that we perhaps missed or what could be the cause?



Kind regards,



David
