ComboBox: horizontally align text in dropdown list with text in entry field

[Scott Lewis]

Horizontally align items in dropdown list with item in entry field. There is about a 2 pixel indent to the items in the drop down list

I assume you mean horizontal alignment? The drop down text seems to be a little too far to the right.

[Scott Lewis]

yes, the drop down ext is a bit too far to the right

Hmm, I looked at this again (​http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/form/test_ComboBox.html) and I don't see any issue. Which browser did you see the problem on, and what was your testcase?

From my tests the drop down is exactly aligned, but in safari, there's the fuzzy blue focus outline which does extend to the left and right of both the ComboBox? and the drop down. Is that what you were referring to?

Oh I see this in IE8, maybe it's an IE only problem (or IE8 only).

I only see a problem in IE8. This may be a dup of #8047

[bill]

I'm pretty sure this ticket wasn't against IE8, it was either FF or maybe IE. Oh I see, it's about aligning the text. On FF it seems to be off by 1 pixel:

The drop down menu has a padding of 0.2em, 3px on my display, since it's using the standard rules for dijitMenuItem. The <input> itself has padding:0 but the browser is adding padding anyway, although not as much, only 2px.

It's working on claro, the new theme, except for IE8 where there's still a problem, so leaving ticket open.

IE8 now looks OK to me, so closing this.
