    Hi!

    I use Windows 10 and have configured it (in the OS settings) to use 150% scale. My resolution is 1280×1024. My browser is the latest Chrome and my Chrome window is maximized.

    When the browser zoom is 67%, all is fine. Then when I start zooming in (with ctrl + mouse wheel), the logo (my photo on the left side of the header) gets smaller with every step. At 90% zoom, the logo is completely invisible. And only at 100% zoom does WordPress resort to collapsing the navigation into a hamburger button.

    I can easily fix the logo shrinkage by setting this css on its block:

    flex-shrink: 0;

    … but then, when I zoom in, the header overflows to the right and creates a horizontal scrollbar, rather than collapsing the navigation into a hamburger.

    What I’d really like is for WordPress to detect the correct moment to collapse the nav.

    Any hints much appreciated!

    Hi there,

    Do you think it would work for you if maybe your menu is always collapsed by default? I think this is a more specific use case, and I’m not even sure if I can reproduce it, but could maybe be an option.

    @foosantos Thanks for replying! Frankly I wouldn’t like it very much if the menu was always collapsed by default. (I like to accentuate/emphasize the options available in the menu – make them stand out – and that’s why). ??

    Hi @stefan-monov – I can definitely understand that.

    One thing I’d suggest is playing around with the sizing of that column and/or the image itself. You should be able to set a fixed size on the image/logo so it won’t scale with the other elements.

    @jordesign Thanks! That’s what I was trying to do with the “flex-shrink: 0” line, but, as I wrote in my original post, that leads to a horizontal scrollbar, unfortunately.

    Hey @stefan-monov – it looks like you might have had a typo in that code – the CSS I can see is:

    min-widtsh: 85px !important;
    flex-shrisnk: 0;

    Could you please try this instead?

    min-width: 85px !important;
    flex-shrink: 0;

    @jordesign Thanks, I know about the typo – it’s intentional. I use it as an easy way to disable a line of CSS code (hey, it’s less keystrokes than /**/ ?? )

    I “reenabled” (a.k.a. fixed the typos in) these two lines now, temporarily, so you can see the horizontal scrollbar that they cause to appear.

    Hey @stefan-monov – thanks for doing that. When I check the site – I’m not seeing scrollbars. Are you able to test in other browsers/devices and see if it only occurs on some of them?

    @jordesign

    Sure, I tested in:

    • Desktop Chrome on Windows
    • Desktop Firefox on Windows
    • Desktop Edge on Windows
    • Mobile Chrome on Android

    Indeed on Android no scrollbar appears. On desktop, there’s a scrollbar when you zoom in.

    I suppose you are trying with the setup that I described in the first post? (i.e. 1280×1024 res, 150% MSWindows scale, browser zoom at >=75%)

    Please make sure to hard-reload the website (Ctrl+F5).

    Hey @stefan-monov – unfortunately I can’t check that particular setup, but can leave this open for someone else to look.

    Another approach I could think of would be to try another layout setup. for that header – to see if it behaves more reliably.

    Could you try a columns block with two columns:

    • first column with a fixed width – and your logo in it
    • second column with no fixed width – with everything else in it – adjusting with the screen width.

    @jordesign thanks, I tried that but it caused some problems: the text in the navbuttons was split vertically to single letters such as:

    Н

    А

    Ч

    А

    Л

    О

    Anyway, I found a solution that works well enough – I allowed the row (that contains the nav buttons) to go into a second row when horizontal space is insufficient. The result suits me pretty well. Thanks again for looking into this ??
