Bug list for WD8?

**Glugwine** · 30 April 2012, 07:56 AM

Hi Sledger - thanks to you and others who have looked at this.

I am running MX and still have issues - do we have a definitive fix for this I can try. I have tried a site on Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy S2 and both are displaying 'zoomed in' top left. I would assume that Xara will be looking at this and perhaps get a fix out soon?

OK, I have tested one of my own WD7 sites and can see what you mean when exported by MX, I can also confirm that disabling the viewport metatag by add following name to any object in the document: NoViewportMeta works perfectly by returning to the viewport zoom level you were used too before Xara added this meta.

I'll find out what's going on, however I do know that the viewport meta was added to fix display issues with iOS.

Stay tuned

Well I just had the following reply from Xara;

Hi,

This is not a bug, but an improvement over version 7 in it's compatibility to display on mobile devices.
In version 7 how a web page was displayed on a mobile device was dependent on the mobile device and it's browser. In MX it now includes a viewport tag by default which means that the page is displayed at an optimum resolution for the devices resolution, which will vary by device. Currently there is no was to disable this from being included in the export, but in future patch updates this will be provided for those that do not want this enhanced functionality. This viewport tag does not stop you from 'zooming out' on the page, all it does is set the intial viewport to the resolution of the device.

Hi Everyone,

I have been experiencing this same problem. What I did is I opened my web page (which is 955px wide) in notepad and changed <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/> to <meta name="viewport" content="width=955">. Essentially, setting the content width to whatever the page width is.

Now when I view the page on my Motorola Droid X, it displays the whole page fitted correctly to my phones display. The page fits correctly in either landscape or portrait orientation. The zoom is all the way out, but I actually prefer having the page zoomed out giving me the option to zoom in and out as I deem necessary rather than the page displaying zoomed all the way in to match the mobile devices resolution. With the former, I can see immediately where I want to zoom to, with the latter I have to first zoom out or scroll around and than focus on the area of the page that interests me. To me...that's just an extra step.

Anyway, I don't have an ipad or iphone, so I don't know how this works on those devices. Can someone please try this out and post back here regarding Apple devices? Also, while this method worked, I'm not 100% sure if this is really a good fix or not. Does this work well on other devices? Are there other things to consider long term? Please try this and critique it and post your thoughts.

Thanks!

I also have the same problem with sites which worked perfectly on mobiles which were produced using 7 premium and on upgrading to MX premium the pages are no longer viewable on my Samsung Galaxy S2 as only the top left of the page appears and cannot be reduced to view the page. I have now reverted my updated sites back to version 7 and will not be using MX until this is fixed, which I hope will be soon as I can't afford to throw my money away on something which is not an improvement over that which I already had.

Zoom then pinch out to reduce. Works fine on my GS2 for those MX exported sites which load at 100% resolution.

Not on my Galaxy Note still have the same issue and cannot zoom out. I have just 'reloaded a site' with version 7 and it views OK on the Note now. Hopefully Xara will have a 'fix' soon. I presume Apple users are viewing Xara sites fine as this 'fix' was for those devices. I will try the other suggested fix later.
