Half the Sprite Selector is cut off for me

I don't know why this happens, but I am unable to work on anything like this...

What exactly is the bug you're reporting? You should be able to scroll down to select your sprite.

It's not scrolling down that's the problem. It's scrolling up. The problem is that a portion of what I can see is cut off. It scrolls up so much before what I can access is cut and I literally cannot see any sprites located above a certain point.

I need more information to investigate this. First, I need your user agent string. I may need a link to this particular trial as well.

Problem could also be with my monitor's resolution, possibly...

I can't reproduce the bug after opening your trial in Chrome. The next measure will be to try it on my Windows virtual machine, but that may take a while.

I recommend saving your trial, refreshing it, and trying to edit the sprite again. Do you still have the problem? If not, then you must have done something else to trigger the bug, and I can't fix the problem until I know what trigger is.

Okay, so, I really do think it could be a problem with the monitor's resolution. If I try clicking where the red circle is, I suddenly get the sprite I want. So, I can still access the sprites, they're just completely invisible to me.

Thanks for the information, that helps.

That is not a resolution problem. Try saving, as I suggested in my previous post, and let me know what happens.

As a collaborator on Sponge's trial, I think I can give some more information as it is happening on my end too (For the record, her is my user agent string: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.132 Safari/537.36).

First off, it appears to be the same issue reported here: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=12176

The solution presented in the other thread notes that zooming out a bit helped, and it did; however, it is inconsistent. Once the popup is exited and re-entered, the scroll pane proceeds to have the same issue as before. I've attempted this process on some my trials to see if if it was exclusive to the Sponge's trial or not. I found that this issue was consistent, meaning it is either a problem with the browser or the editor itself. I will continue to experiment with it until we can find a reasonable solution.

Edit: I can no longer reproduce the error. I am on a different cpu at my college, but the setup should be virtually the same.

And now I can reproduce it on Chrome with one of Phoenix's sprites...?

I'll poke around to see if I can identify the problem, coding-side, but given the pace of AAO development, I wouldn't be holding out hope for this being fixed before the competition deadline. I think your best shot is just to know there's an invisible scroll bar and to be comfortable dragging it when you need a sprite that's high up on the list.
