Random blue line

I wonder if anyone else has the same phenomenon happening on their screen; when I hold the cursor over certain options, a dark blue line appears further down the screen. I get this on MY GAMES when hovering over the left side of the time column, and in various other places, e.g. on each of the Skip/Next/Game Note options, and the Move/Game/Rating/Wins headings in the game database, among others.

As far as I can tell, it would appear the dark blue 'shadow' line at the base of the pop-up boxes explaining each heading is misplaced. For example, holding the cursor on 'Conditional Moves' clearly shows the shadow line beneath and to the right of the box. On the occasions the blue line appears down the page, the line underneath the pertinent box is missing.

I first noticed it when the Forums were updated, so whether it is a result of those changes I don't know, but it doesn't seem to affect anything adversely. I'm just curious to know if anyone else has the same thing occurring.

Actually, I just now tried placing and replacing the cursor on Conditional Moves, and if the cursor is placed on the word 'conditional', the line is in the correct place below the box, then if it is replaced on 'moves', it is down the page. Odd.

Perhaps try to resize the page to 100%. Ctrl + 0 usually works.

shadow line

garos, I see this 'shadow line' too when the mouse hovers over the column headers in the customized "My games". The bottom shadow of the tooltip corresponds to a skinnier tooltip and is drawn too narrow and too low. I have 8 columns in "My Games" and this cosmetic defect usually happens only on the last two columns ("Notes" with a width of 80 and "Type"). Sometimes also on the previous column "Game Title" (width 180).

As heinzkat indicates playing with the window size alters the effect but it is hard to get it to go away for me. Purely cosmetic however and it does not hinder in any way. I had not noticed it until your message, so I do not know how long it has been like that.

"Ctrl + 0" resets the page size to the intended one by the website. If it does not work, look for some "zoom" function in your webbrowser.
