Is the problem resolved when you enable Compatibility View, or emulate IE7?

Hi,

Thanks for all the responses.

The error is present in IE (I'm recreating in 8). This issue does not happen in 
Firefox.

I think I've trapped the error to another web part on the same page 
(Announcements) which has a lot of HTML pasted in it. Even though this isn't 
being edited, there is something in that web part that is overriding the size 
in the page.

Interestingly, the size is different based on the site theme.

Thanks for the help

Cheers,

Chris

IE 8 has F12, shows the developer toolbar (like firebug but better of course)

Firebug is your friend - but only if the problem also occurs in Firefox.

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.

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)

How much customisation was done to the master/layout pages and CSS?

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?

Subject: Editing web part constrains view of page

Hi,

A user of one of the Team Sites has reported an issue where they edit a web 
part and their view of the page is constrained to a narrow height. 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.

Cheers,

Chris
