Modx manager - can't see whole content textarea

Hi,

We have some problem with the form layout in the manager.
We use the Babel plugin (http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/babel).
As the Babel box (OnDocFormPrerender) pushes the content a few hundred pixels below, and the modx layout is generated automatically - it gives the inner elements of the modx content box positions and dimensions based on the start I'll guess - you can't see the whole content textarea (the scrollbar is just too short). Because of this, it's not easy to edit. A screenshot says more I'll guess:

Anyone who has a solution for this?

Thanks,
TB

I have one suggestion. Don't use Babel and Contexts. Use MIGxMulitLang.

At the moment this is not an option for us.

Somebody knows a way to fix this?

Hi all!

I had a similar problem with babel, but with the positioning of the context selection layer, not with its size. And I resolved the problem in a very simple way, by editing the style sheet of babel ( pathtoyoursite/assets/components/babel/css/babel.css )

For example I can think various way to fix by css ; modifying the height and width or with the pseudo-class hover,

	
#babel-box{
    background: rgba(224, 224, 224, 0.75);
    margin:15px 0 0;
    padding:10px;
    -moz-border-radius: 3px;
    border-radius: 3px;
    /*display: inline-block; */
    position: fixed;
    top: 124px;
    right: 20px;
    z-index: 12;
    max-height: 124px;      <!-- Limited height -->
}
 
#babel-box:hover {
    max-height: 'auto';
}

This I have not tried, but I think it should be working or at least I hope that will serve a little help.

Thanks bentejuy, did a fix (with hovering) based on this.
