server site in browser FF looks strange

gpm · 01-18-2023, 06:09 PM

I managed to install calibre (6.11) on my headless server (Debian 11).
Everything works fine, except - in Firefox the server site looks strange. It shows the 'titlebar' (don't know how it's called) twice, one fixed on the top and one which scrolls with and on top of the contents. See attached pic.

This is only visible in FF, every other browser shows it correct.
The settings including 'server-custom-list-template.json' are the same as on my Raspberry which also runs on Debian 11 but calibre is v.5.12.
It is no critical issue but I would like to learn and know.

Looks fine in Firefox for me, with default settings. Though I dont see how settings could impact this. What version of FIrefox are you using?

FF version is 108.0.2 (64-Bit)
Ya, it must be something in FF. Other browsers don't have this issue. Mobile browsers neither.
I tried with all add-ons deactivated but no avail.
Seems it is a 'only-for-me-with-this-very-firefox' issue.
I can live with that as long as clibre-server does it's job. It does, obviously.
Thx for looking! (You're awesome!)

Most of all the second 'titlebar' lacks any function. clicking on it does just nothing. It just sits there with the space above it.

I tried your site in FF 109.0 on Windows 11 64bit and did not get the secondary titlebar. OTOH, you might want to edit your message to remove the username/password information.

Thx for looking into it.
I've removed the credentials. It was a temp account for testing purposes anyway.
I identified the culprit. It's a add-on named 'LastPass'.

Weird for a password manager to cause a display issue.
