[RESOLVED] Latest noscript breaks Webmin on FF 3.0.12
Posted: Sat Aug 01, 2009 11:04 pm
I use webmin (web-based management UI - http://www.webmin.com) to manage unix/linux boxes and in the last few days the webmin navigation bar on the left-hand side of the window is corrupted.
The standard webmin "theme" is a framed interface with a hiearchical navigation on the left-hand side. This is JavaScript-based - links to the various management screens are grouped under clickable headings. Clicking on a heading expands the group.
Of course all the URLs used for webmin on the boxes I use are on my whitelist; clicking on the headings does expand them but instead of appearing in neat rows under the heading as usual all the "children" items under the headings are compressed together and they overlap.
Please bear in mind that there is a quick workaround for me - use a different theme. I'm only posting this here because this problem may be a symptom of something else.
Also note I'm fairly confident the cause is noscript and I don't think interaction with other add-ons is significant; I have disabled all add-ons and re-enabled them one by one and I can reliably replicate the problem if I enable noscript (with or without any other addons enabled) and the problem goes away with noscript disabled (with or without other addons enabled).
I have tried this from two Windows XP boxes and also one Ubuntu 8.10 "intrepid" 64-bit. Firofox version 3.0.12 + noscript exhibits the same behaviour on all boxes.
