Extra line break in field context?

[Jeff Heath]

I have a FLEx database where an extra line break seems to be inserted in the etymology context. We want parentheses around the abbreviation of the etymology, but FLEx is putting an extra line break after the opening parentheses:

Any thoughts as to what could be wrong?

Hi Jeff,

My two cents is that at the lower level of the abbreviation (or somewhere), there is an \0A in there :

Hi Jeff,

Do either of the checked nodes under Etymologie (i.e., Langue Source, Abréviation) have the \0A Bart alluded to in the Before or After field? Or is there a 'new paragraph' checkbox on one of those? (Shooting from the hip here.)

No, there are no \0A's in any context fields on any of the Etymology nodes, checked or unchecked. In fact, it seems to be just related to the "Before" context of the Etymology node. If I remove the open parenthesis there, I get:

But if I add "(" into the Before context, it displays as shown above, with the blank line after the parenthesis.

Oh wait! Understanding sets in... This is not actually the primary Dictionary Configuration that we have worked on in this project. There is a configuration that we set up for building an app and we defined a "ProjectDictionaryOverrides.css" to help us with formatting that configuration. I see now that there is a class defined in there that causes this problem:

This then leads to a couple more questions:

1) Can you define CSS rules in the Overrides file that only apply to certain configurations? If we are adding rules for an app layout, we don't want to mess up other layouts!

2) Why does the "display:block" only apply on the etymology data, and not to the context "(" before it. (I imagine checking out the .xhtml export might answer that question...)

Thanks for your input,

Jeff
