Reply To: Repeater UI gets wonky after last update

Elliot,

I had a similar issue with the recent update as well. Client’s site has repeaters within repeaters and they complained that the fields would extend beyond as well as beneath the containing borders causing the wysiwyg fields to be unusable.

My initial thought was “your screen is just too small”. Looked into it a little more in-depth and compared it to a cloned site on the version 1.0.1 repeater plugin. It turns out that there was a change in the 1.1.0 css that was causing the issue.

On line 5 of the input.css file you have

table-layout: fixed;

If I comment out this line, the editor displays as expected (expected by the client).

For my client I’m overriding this style attribute with a custom filter in my functions.php.

function admin_css() { ?>
	<style type="text/css">
		.repeater > table{
			table-layout:auto!important;
		}
	</style>
<? }
add_action('admin_head', 'admin_css');

That should hold them over and even help with future updates, but could you explain the reason for this simple style change? Is my modification going to come back and bite me?

Thanks,
