Text overflows in IE11

I have the same problem, site works great in firefox,chrome,android browser, the only place it is messed up is in IE. don’t know where to look or start debuging to get this fixed.

Sorry to hear that bmalloy.
So after a couple of days I think I’ve found the issue. No solution as yet, but I do have a workaround.
It looks to be an issue with flexbox support in IE11 and changing vendor prefixes. More detail here if you’re interested.
Min-height and flexbox (flex-direction:column) don’t work together in IE 10 & 11-preview
I’ve tried a range of suggestions from this and other posts but no luck. In the end I added a scrollbar to the main content block.

#primary #content {
    overflow: auto;
}

Because the text doesn’t overflow in FF or Chrome the scrollbar doesn’t appear which is great. It just affects IE and while not ideal, looks a lot better than the text running over the footer and down the page.
Not great if you’ve got loads of posts though so it would be nice to find a proper fix.

Ya I did some looking around also, my solution was to go back to v 1.3.4, that is the last version that works correctly in all 3 browsers, since most of my pages are static in content anyway using an older version right now looks to be the way to go for me. The bosses have all agreed on the look and feel so I am not going to switch themes and have to have them all discuss it again LOL, thanks for the info.

Hiya,

seems that I run into problems at the same time as other people ??

Thanks @swootang for that workaround! It works fine for me. I prefer it without the scrollbar, but certainly looks better than that text “overflow”…

Same issue, unpresentable! Hope someone find a solution quickly…

4/24/2015 I just downloaded the 1.7 version of the flat theme and I am happy to say it works in IE now, no more need for the scrollbar. Just wanted to let everyone know.

Thanks for updating this thread bmalloy, 1.7 should have this issue fixed.

Kind regards,
Marius
