Upgrade Glitch: Drop Down Menus

I have upgraded a number of sites to the most recent version of TXP. What I have noticed now is that independent of the them — when I use a drop down menu — I have to select said choice and then hit the drop down arrow again to get it to appear. Is it just me or did I miss something. I know this was not the case before. originally I was thinking it possibly had to do with the theme — but this is not the case since it behaves the same on all themes.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Textpattern 4.5.7

I just realized, the issue is in Firefox 41.0.2 — the problem does not occur in IE

Hm, just a guess as I had issues like that in FF: Try removing the touch class from the body tag of the page you’re having issues on. Does the problem persist?

Thanks for the heads up — can’t see to locate te class — maybe I am missing it — as an example the Articles Tab —

Re: Upgrade Glitch: Drop Down Menus

Sorry, it’s the HTML tag.

OK, admin side. I had it on public pages. Do you have problems with the browser’s own dropdown menus or with the Textpattern UI (Hive, Remora)? (I had mine with Web Designer menus, in lack of the official term.)

Uli:

Sorry for the delayed response. The feedback I am getting from the client is the following: sometimes save button for article editing appears/doesn’t appear and have to hit “save” multiple times in order for changes to be saved. (Admin Theme: Hive_Reloaded) I am using this theme so that admin is not responsive design which was causing issues on client side.

I sould add client states problem occurs in both Safari and FF.

Re: Upgrade Glitch: Drop Down Menus

OK, so there’s actually three issues now.

Let’s start with the menu one: Guessed problem is Firefox states to be touch-enabled though it’s a desktop app, and Modernizr puts the appropriate touch-class into the HTML tag. That problem would not appear in Safari, then. But clients tend to muddle things up and see one problem lump in their issues. Also, you’d have this one only in Hive, Remora doesn’t use Modernizr for touch detection matters.
You can solve the Hive thing by commenting out the two rules that use the .touch class in Hive’s own textpattern.css. I forgot that I once (actually still) had that one in the backend, too, as I’m always carrying over my own set of rules in a separate file to each TXP installation.

Save button appears/doesn’t appear. My guess: Client tries to edit articles he’s not authored and doesn’t have sufficient rights to do so. But there’s also a handful of other things to check from this familiar topic.

Hit save multiple times: Any vague memory of old forum topics tells me you could’ve given the client hak_tinyMCE, updated TXP and didn’t think of likewise updating the hak plugin. But I could also be very wrong there.
