In desktop Firefox (on Windows 10), the text on the map doesn't spread out, so you end up with a bunch of names written on top of each other.

Checked it in Chrome and it seems like a cool idea.




Really? I can't reproduce it. For a specific map? Which version? Do you have any add-ons active?


It's at least the movie and literature maps, with Firefox 54.0.1 (32-bit) on Windows 10 (64-bit). I am on a Windows Insider Preview build (16241.1001), so that could be it. Still broken with all add-ons disabled.

Working fine in Firefox 54.0.1 on my Debian laptop.


Is it giving you an error in the console? "names written on top of each other" sounds like the script is executed partly and then stopped.


The console reports: Error in parsing value for ‘left’. Declaration dropped. Error in parsing value for ‘top’. Declaration dropped.

A little debugging shows that a NaN is getting into the item properties and then propagating through the calculations until it gets to the style.left= line where it fails, preventing the item from moving.

Resizing the window will make everything start working.


I see. I have some ideas what it could be. But since no Win10+FF combination I tried shows this behaviour, it's hard to debug. If you like, shoot me an email. Maybe we find a bug in the Win10 preview or Firefox.
