ABP problem

[Wladimir Palant]

You are right, Gecko reserves some space for the object tab even though the object tab is moved using relative positioning. I'll see what I can do about it.

Fixed this, new development build: http://adblockplus.org/development-buil ... page-width

[Wladimir Palant]

Found another issue: if the position of the object relative to the left edge of the page changes, the object tab fails to adapt. This happens for example on http://www.planeshift.it/ if we resize the window. That one will be hard to fix, I guess we will have to live with it.

The Tab also seems to get "under" other elements of a page now, see e.g.
http://www.miniclip.com/games/snowboard-madness/en/
(Tab at top right corner of the game object, but mostly hidden under the surrounding graphics)

@chewey: This is a variation of bug 12910, something that happens with both 0.7.2.3 and the current development build. The object tab isn't "under" anything, it is simply cut off at the container boundary.

Btw.: Something I also noticed (appart from these dev. builds) with regular AdblockPlus:
Some .gif get removed instantly as you would expect it, but others like the 'Premium = werbefrei' .gif in the upper left corner of http://www.gamestar.de/aktuell/index.html only disappear when you reload the entire page.

Background images can't be removed immediately...

Why not remove the whole bar with

Code: Select all

gamestar.de#div(premiumlogin_werbung)

?

Ah, ok thanks. Didn't notice this was a background image.
(It seems the specifier 'Adblock background image' got removed in AdblockPlus).

I already did. Just removed my common adblock-list to go bug-hunting (otherwise there wouldn't be much ads to examine )


Edit:

Regarding the horizontal resizing:

It may be an exotic site because the flash covers the whole space but http://www.lamborghini.com/2006/lamboSi ... p?lang=eng
still got horizontal resizing (although I think at least the vertical resizing can't be circumvented because somewhere there needs to be a little extra space for the adblock-tab).

[Wladimir Palant]

I don't think the scroll bars can be avoided in this case.

Another thing I came across. I can't block the big 'Fuji Camera' ad at www.alternate.de .

The image seems to be hidden under some layers of other (transparent?) images and when you get to the final layer the 'Adblock Image' dialog isn't showing anymore.

It's a background image. You can block it with |http://www.alternate.de/dynpics/275.jpg ... match-case, but a lot of the ad will still be left.

How about this element hiding filter?

Code: Select all

alternate.de#div(class=Hlight2x1)

There could be false positives with it, though. Look around the site and see if there are any.

Sure, but I was not so concerned about the image itself.
It's the missing Adblock-dialog if you want to block the image by right-clicking it.

[Peng]

....Oh.

Unfortunately background images are always difficult, you sometimes cannot find out that they are located under the mouse cursor...
