SP16: Disappearing content (on over) Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Whatever funky scripty stuff happens at Reuters news site breaks SP15/SP16 when the mouse travels over content on the page.

Example:


http://today.reuters.com/news/newsAr...FLU-CANADA.xml

As the mouse moves around, everything vanishes, if you click, it re-appears...
 
Same thing in WebKit. That's actually pretty cool.

The code is horrible, but typical of the tools they're using. Here's some examples:

Code:
<LINK href='http://i.today.reuters.com/styles/master.css' type='text/css' rel='stylesheet'><SCRIPT language='javascript' src='http://i.today.reuters.com/News/script/links.js' type='text/javascript'></script><META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/><link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://i.today.reuters.com/favicon.ico" /><link rel="icon" href="http://i.today.reuters.com/favicon.ico" />

<META name="WT.cg_n" content="Top News">

<META name="DCSext.articleHeadline" content="Canada+finds+bird+flu%2c+unclear+what+virus+strain">
<META name="DCSext.totalPages" content="2">
<META name="DCSext.pageViewed" content="1">
Not only is there 400 lines of javascript at the foot of the page (not counting JS elsewhere in the page) but there's at least 10 embedded JS files totaling about 40KB of JS.
 
All of Reuters is like this. Another example:

http://today.reuters.com/news/newsAr...OPERTY-WTC.xml
 
This is a webkit bug, and I submitted it several weeks ago to the webkit bug tracker, and they know on which build the regression happened.

It's on the queue of things to be fixed in another webkit build.

I believe this is fixed in WebKit now and will be in OmniWeb when we move to a newer version of WebKit again.
 
Looks like it's still a problem in SP17.
 
We're still based on a version of WebKit that is close to 13302

<http://nightly.webkit.org/builds/WebKit-SVN-r13302.dmg>

We'll let you all know when we move to a newer version. If you download the DMG above and run the app within you'll see that this problem is also reproducible in Safari with this same version of WebKit.

FWIW, this behavior persists in OW 5.5 final. I hope it will be gone in 5.5.1
