The "Content by Label" macro presents up/down text box arrows next to each list entry in IE9

      When using Internet Explorer 9, up/down text box arrows display to the right of each entry displaying on a page employing the "Content by Label" macro.

      We think we may have identified the root cause.

      It appears the "LI" element in the CSS for the Content by Label macro is set to "overflow: auto".

      When "auto" (overflow) is turned off, the text box up/down arrows do not display. This setting is configured in the file "content_by_label_resources.css".

            hey David -
            I applied that code snippet at the space level (where this macro is being used most prominently) and also applied it at the site level.

            Didn't have the effect I was hoping for: In both cases (applied at either/and space-level and site-level), those arrows still display in IE9.

            Any other tips or tricks you could share?

            thanks,
            John

            Hi John,

            Sorry for that, I misread your comment and thought you had already applied a workaround. You can make the CSS change you discovered permanent by editing the space or global stylesheets. For example if you only are having that problem in one space, go to space tools -> look and feel -> stylesheet and enter:

            ul.content-by-label li {
            overflow : default;
            }
            

            that will take away the overflow property you suggested. Be aware that this may have other affect on other browsers, but at least your IE9 users will have the fix.

            If you are a Confluence admin, you can also apply this globally.

            Hey David -
            What's the workaround (for IE9)?

            This bug affects about a third of our users (users on IE9). Is the ticket's priority set based on the overall Atlassian audience, or the audience of the issue reporter?

            Thanks,

            Hi John,

            Thanks for raising this issue. I'm lowering the priority to minor because you've got a workaround, and it only affect one browser.

            Attached image showing how we got the up/down container arrows to disapper.

            (Set "overflow: auto" to off/unchecked for the "LI" HTML element.
