Sounds like some "customisations" to the master page/page layout is causing this. Seen this a few times, the web part properties panel is pretty fussy on rendering with correct containers around it.

If not, at least you know it's not a standards-compliance issue. :) We hit many similar walls when branding from scratch using DIVs in place of the may nested tables approach. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Sezai Komur Sent: Tuesday, 20 April 2010 1:19 PM To: ozMOSS Subject: Re: Editing web part constrains view of page Paul is probably right, I've seen this sort of weirdness occur due to a custom Master Page design in place. If you compare the HTML markup emitted by a regular SharePoint page, to the HTML markup emitted when the web part toolbox appears to the right of the page in edit mode, you may notice some extra table tags in place. SharePoint positions the toolbox to the right in a table cell by wrapping most of the page content to the left in a table cell too, both of the table cells sit in the same table row within a new table. So check your master page for any errant HTML table tags that will be screwing up the nesting of tables for the entire page and therefor screwing up the entire page's rendering (not an easy thing to resolve) Sezai.

Does the problem persist when you apply an OOTB master to the site, such as BlueBand or Default? Are you applying custom CSS through the UI's Masterpage settings? If so, have you tried removing it to see if that's the cause? Does it occur in all browsers? Have you tried debugging in Firefox using Firebug?

The page is accessible but they have to scroll to see the web part settings. This appears to happen for any web part within the page. The screen shot attached shows the view. Has anyone come across this before and know how to fix it? I can recreate the issue but can't see the root cause.
