    Go to this site ...
    http://www.jpost.com/

    The text overlaps on the right side of the page - Opera / Firefox & IE11 does not overlap text but works flawlessly. On top of this, I want to report this to Google. In Google Help, I have two options, Help Center that gives zero help on this and secondly "report an issue. "
    The latter is ok, outside the little window that opens up to report the issue does not open up fully. Where one is to hit the Send button, well the Send button does not show up in this window. I've tried shrinking the page or fonts and this does nothing to help. So to report an issue does not even work.

    Any ideas as to how to get this little window to open up to the point where the Send button will appear?

    While on the site hold the CTRL key and press the "Minus" sign to reduce the page size to see if that helps.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Tried that yesterday and it's a no go.

    I'm at the office now and my Chrome Version 37.0.2062.120 m doesn't have the issue.

    Is your browser at full screen? Or does going full screen help?

    I've the latest update Steve. Going Incognito does nothing. Impossible to get it to full screen with the half window there - in other words, with the help window half up there and then hitting the wrench, it immediately makes the little window disappear.

    Can't say that I understand most of what you just wrote.... When you're on the web site you linked to above - is your chrome browser at full screen?

    I have a 22" monitor and my browser is not at full screen and I can view the site just fine. My resolution is set to 1920 x 1080.

    Two things -
    1) the text on the the Jerusalem Post is garbled on the right side of the screen - scroll down a bit to see that.
    2) Click on the Help in Google Chrome - choose Report an Issue - the latter will only allow me to see half of that window, not allowing me to send a message to Google that their Browser is messed up.
    Hope this will make things a bit clearer. For any who cannot see my postings, please let me know immediately.

    Just went to your link and it's all as clear as - not garbled.
    I'm using Mozilla FF 32.0.1. I've never used Chrome. Neil.

    Understood. Works within normal parameters in Opera, IE11 & Firefox. This is why I ripped on to this forum, hoping someone who understands Google a bit better than I can direct me to a way to overcome the problem, or at least just to send a message to the Chromy boys. Even that is not possible. I feel like eating ten bowls of jello and then walking out in front of a parked bus. I mean, seriously, is there no one on this forum that can give help on something like this? Everyone on here must be Firefox or IE11 lovers!!!

    Thanks for that suggestion also. Nothing in that comes close to fixing this problem. This has got to be totally bizzare but still there is a fix for this somewhere here in Google. Any furthered suggestions, please let them fly this way.

    You may need to post a screenshot. I checked the site in Google Chrome running in 1024 x 768 and can't see any problem.

    No problem viewing that site in Chrome for me. There is no text overlap anywhere. And I highly doubt it would be a Chrome issue anyway. I looked at the site code and it is using many many external scripts and content coming from other domains. The site has no control over the validity of external code and how it interferes with the site's intended layout. Often in such cases the external code conflicts with a site's local code.

    Try clearing Chrome's History and load it again.

    Tony, I've cleared the cache on numerous occassions since the beginning of this snag.
    I'd send a screenshot but that is more complicated than my problem.

    Are you using Chrome default font settings and display, i.e. not zooming or changing font sizes?

    Default settings does nothing. No zooming & tried zooming does nothing. I'm still trying to figure out how to post a picture of what I'm seeing.
    I'm trying to figure out how to post a picture of what I got here. The bigger problem right now is how to do just that.
    Anyone who has the time, advise me how to do that. I've googled it and the best I can come up with is go to "manage attachments" and that proved useless.
    When the fix becomes more complicated than the problem, it's about time to throw in the towel!!! :)

    Thanks you for the reply Arie. After following the directions, hitting the "Post Reply" there is no Manage Attachments showing.

    I'm going to ask that you remove this thread if you will. Appreciate everyone's efforts but spending a half a dozen attempts on how to post a picture is a little off the wall.

    I have no subscription and obviously I'm not one of those selected users that will see rules that are only given to some. :-]

    The simple answer as I found out three weeks ago is ... please everyone, stand up, take a deep breath, do 30 spins, sit back down and here it comes with feeling ...
    1) Reset Google Chrome.
    See ya's later on!
