I have a simple example of a site (using the CSS max-height property) that is W3C
compliant and properly rendered in FF2, IE7 and Safari 3, but NOT in Opera 9.

To see the example, goto: http://www.wiseware.com/test

If there is a work-around, please point me to it.

Thanks

I don't know about a workaround, but this will work as you expect in the
next major Opera release.

Rijk,

OK. Thanks.

Do you know, by the way, if the next major release will also fix another problem I
reported last year (see www.wiseware.com/operabug) wherein Opera does not render /u2261
but only shows a little box instead?

Excellent! I just ran into a similar bug on my own web site, however I'm
not using max-height, but the normal height property. Opera 9.21 renders
the box high enough to contain all its children instead of cutting off the
box at the specified height and performing an overflow: auto showing a
scroll bar.

Confusingly it also show the scroll bar... all the way down the height of
the box, with a scroll height relative to the actual overflow... So I'm
guessing an overflow calculation algorythm goes awry.

Version 9.10 didn't have this problem as far as I can remember. I know I
checked it in several browsers. It might be version 9.21 that has this
behaviour.

Not suitable as a test case, but at least good as an example:

I don't know if there is something to fix for the next major release,
because here it shows the correct mathematical sign: ≡ (identical to, 3
horizontal bars).

Opera 9.21 (8776) Win XPSP2 and Vista, both with full Unicode supporting
fonts installed. 98 and Ubuntu 7.x not yet tested.

Well now, that's very strange. I am running XPPrp SP2 and Opera 9.21 and I do not see the
"triple bar" for \u2261. The other characters on the test page are properly rendered, but
\u2261 shows as an empty box.

I am not sure what you mean by "full Unicode supporting fonts installed". Perhaps that is
what I need to do. Can you point me in the right direction to find those fonts?

Thanks,

I guess 9.22 does not count as a "major release" because my page still does not work as
expected.
