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

 

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
calle
