Different browsers present the Photo Details box on the right side of a Photo differently.  Google Chrome in particular shows all details in one column on the left side of the Photo Details box thus requiring scrolling to see all of the photo details.  Firefox and Internet Explorer display the same information in two columns and fit in the allotted size of the box.

See sample image attached (Google Chrome on left; Firefox in centre; Internet Explorer on right).

I would like Google Chrome to display the information in two columns or for the Photo details box to be lengthened.

  Dear Malcolm,

  This is caused by an override in the default font settings of your browser.

  To resolve, go to your browser's settings, click on Customize fonts...

  

   

   

  and then restore the Minimum font size to the default: 9pt ...

  Thanks for taking a look at this.  I did not find your solution to work however this did have me look at other settings in Google Chrome.  Since I have large monitors I run all my browsers with 110% page zoom.  Internet Explorer and Firefox are fine with this and display properly.  

  As it turns out, Google Chrome only has a problem with 110% zoom if that is the setting when the photo is loaded.  Thus, at 100% or less, or 125% or more zoom the Photo Details box shows correctly.  At 110% zoom I need to scroll the box to see all details.  If I initially load the page with something other than 110% zoom and then use Ctrl-Scroll to change the zoom to 110% the page displays okay.  

  I haven't yet noticed other display problems, although there are minor differences between browsers -- some of this is expected with html.  Most of the time I use Chrome on this site. One big difference is that Chrome displays the ship details box on the Live Map page much differently (with more information) than does Internet Explorer or Firefox.  See attached image (Chrome on left; Internet Explorer on right).

  Glad you found it Malcolm!

  Indeed, it seems that Chrome has a problem when loading the page at 110% or more, although everything works fine if you zoom after the page loads...

   

  The different ship info boxes are due to the perceived screen size. The horizontal one is meant to be displayed on smaller screens.
