r1727 - Installing a plugin.
I’ve noticed that when installing a plugin with the latest rev (1727) on the plugin preview page, the page its self gets to be as wide as the longest line. This means that if there’s one long paragraph in the help text, the entire page will be that long. And then, we’ve got horizontal scroll bars. And no one likes that. No one.
As well, the help text that’s being displayed seems to be the html that gets parsed from textile, but it’s showing the actual html. Maybe it’s intended to be this way, but shouldn’t you get the text with html formatting rather than raw html code?
(If I’m not being clear with the first issue, here’s an image to describe what I’m trying to say.)

Yes, it’s intended that way (the help is displayed in raw code for the same reason that the php code is displayed in raw code).

The original screenshot is Safari.
And that is a known weakness in that browser (overflow div nested in a table-cell). You need to specify a width for #preview-plugin, otherwise it expands based on the contents.
I set it the width to 500px and everything works correctly.

Ahh. Thanks Philippe.
Try r1729. Any good difference?

Yep, that is OK for Safari.
Have you tried in iExploder 6 / PC ? I suspect that one would need a width on the div(s) anyway. iExploder 7 shouldn’t be a problem though.
(Can’t test right now, the Mac that runs VPC/WinXP is currently booted into Linux, and I can’t launch VPC from there).

Yay, it works now. The only problem that I’ve got now, and this is purely aesthetic, is that I think there should be a little more space between the code preview box the the “Plugin Help” text, as well as between the plugin help preview box and the “Install” button.
If that’s not quite clear, then it’s where the arrows are pointing in this image.

The div’s have a bottom margin of 10px or so, and that displays perfectly fine on my side (Safari 2.04 and latest WebKit build).
