Tabs Viewing Issue?

I wonder if anybody else is having this problem.
I can't scroll down in a div if it's also a tab. The scrollbar on the right moves down, but the text remains the same.
This has happened in every single page that I've clicked on that has a tab.
Also, highlighting does this odd thing where, when I highlight a patch of text, it highlights what would be in that area if the scrollbar was working.

It looks like this (note the purple text appearing in odd places):



I use Google Chrome if that helps. D:

Can any of our master coders figure out how to fix this? :/

I've had this problem with certain blogs while using IE (namely ones which work/were coded in Firefox), but it also views other blogs' tabs just fine. I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with Chrome, though :/

Hmm, well, at least I know it's not just my computer. ;;
I'll go check on Firefox real quick and see if it's the same issue there...

[edit] Scrolling works fine on Firefox, from what I can tell.

Hm. I just had a thought.
Does it do this on ALL blogs with tabs, or only some?
Have you tried clicking inside the big box, then scrolling with a mouse's scroll wheel (if you have one)?
It may have to do with the size of the inner box vs. outer box, though the outer box shouldn't be able to produce a scrollbar in most situations, from what I understand...

I'm going to check, but it's done it on every one I've clicked so far. D:
I don't have a scroll wheel, but I don't believe I've tried that. I just know that highlighting at least hasn't really helped. xD

[edit]
I went to one of my own pages where the tabs worked before and the same thing happened. The very first tab (the one that shows up when the page loads) is fine to scroll in, but at least one of the others is messed up.
Also, highlighting does this odd thing where, when I highlight a patch of text, it highlights what would be in that area if the scrollbar was working.

It was doing that when I looked at it on my phone, but after poking the screen it fixed itself.
I hate it's messing up on you. ;.;

"All I know is that I just put a bunch of spaces between two of the divs, but that doesn't fix it."

So it's fixed, but you don't know how it got fixed?

It just somehow managed to "un-fix" itself on the I Am Many blog page. I was able to see it for a little bit just fine (not sure how, it was just suddenly okay) and then when I clicked it again (in the same browser), it was suddenly back to its messed up self. DX

Weird. Unfortunately, with so many people tinkering with it, there's pretty much no way of knowing who fixed it when or if it was just a browser hiccup xD

Here, let's try...

See how this page looks for you. Does it mess up like the others?
I can play with it and see if there's some way at least the "I Am Many" page and your own blogs could get fixed.

Indeed. xD

And yes, that does, on at least the third tab.
And on the last one, the images move with the scrollbar, but not the text.

Only the third and fifth tabs

Only the third and fifth tabs have enough text to scroll. I can change that, though.

Mmkay, tried changing the jump codes to numbers. I don't think that would do it, but you never know!
Let me know if it works, and I'll go to the next thing.

...Well, I just installed Chrome so I could tinker faster, and I must say.
That's an interesting effect xD
It's different from what I used to see in IE, though, and I have no idea what might cause it.

And ooh, I couldn't see the soft border on that page before. It's nice.

Ah, Ravus. D: So it must be...Chrome-wide.

The second tab will scroll (albeit in a quirky, jerky manner), third's still acting oddly... And they all have underlined/linky text now.

Yeah, I've messed with it since that post xD
Trying some old HTML from a page I had which had a different method for tabs.

Edit: Well, I don't know if you call that partial success or miserable failure.
At any rate, I have to go get dinner before boyfriend isn't allowed to eat any more tonight. He wants to go NAUGH, so I will go NAUGH and try again when I get back.

Alright. Nothing I've done

Alright. Nothing I've done with codes has worked 100% (although close!), BUT. I did manage to find a temporary solution.
I don't know WHY this works, but it does.
Go to the tab you want to view and refresh (I've only used Ctrl R to do this, but it ought to work with clicking the button or using F5 as well). You should now be able to scroll that tab fine, but the others will cease scrolling.

You can also move the scroll bar of the tab's div, then scroll the whole page down (into the comments) and back up, and the div box will refresh itself.

It may well be some problem on Chrome's end, where it's not refreshing the screen section correctly when a div box inside a div box is moved.

Thanks for the refreshing suggestion though, atleast that makes it easier!
