Line spacing/missing text issues on browser and apps

Hi,

I would like to ask why is my line spacing/webpages on my imac look like this (please see screenshot below)

It doesn't only happen on an outlook web based email via browser, I noticed it on other websites as well specially with forms etc... This one is also appearing on apps like my notepad if you noticed it on my screenshot.

I tried troubleshooting it by myself by:

Using Chrome, Firefox browsers but no luck

Installed Adobe flash guessing it might work but still the same

Checked the enable javascript tab in Safari but same result

I'm totally hopeless and posting here is my last resort. I'm guessing it has something to do with updating some scripts or plugins on my Imac or changing something in the settings but I'm totally clueless on which one.

Hoping for a response regarding this issue

Thanks in advance

Yes "HE" keeps track of the thread and your replies from time to time 😁

And maybe this could help both of you to diagnose my issue more,

I'm guessing it has something to do with .ASPX if you check on my screens, I came across randomly on this website while searching and it has the same issue and tried to view source and they both have similar .aspx running in it.

yep

Just thinking about "he or she" thinking it odd that you address me instead of them

The fact that it is active server pages really just points back to a CSS or ancillary linked file issue. ASPX runs on the server, not in the browser. What your browser gets is the html/xml file generated on the web server. And none of this explains why it would be occurring on other apps like notes.

I'll ask the silly question: have you tried restarting the machine?

Hi James,

Yes many times. Pardon the ignorance on web technicalities 😉. This has been ongoing problem for me for months, I decided to sweep it under the rug before and used Outlook for Mac instead, but then time permits during the holidays so I seek help with the professionals.

Knowing that I have issues on my machine and pretends to be oblivious makes me vomit still.

HE 👿

I would have loved to have tested the bamboosolutions.com - SAME page - but, alas, the BIG RED CIRCLE obliterated the last word in the URL !!

another one randomly picked there - http://community.bamboosolutions.com/forums/t/32403.aspx displayed as I would expect it to. neat and tidy in FF 31.3.0 (TenFourFox)

Do us a favor and do a screenshot of the link above. apples to apples? Here's mine

TAG!! you're it...

Back to apples and apples - your shot shows a HUGE Zoom OUT of the browser's view.

key in ⌘ Command + 0 <ZERO to zoom to browser default and repost the shot

I zoomed in a bit,

Handles the Jive site just fine, huh? That is a bit odd. It definitely isn't pulling in something it needs to view those sites. Can you post a screen shot of a none internet app - notes was mentioned I believe - to see what they are doing? <never mind>

I don't have access to the MBP at the moment, so can't check it for settings or anything in that realm to consider. One thing you might try - have you restarted your router?

satisfactory "line spacing" I would say - you still are zoomed way out though. the "Paper Page" portion's edges are designed to be maybe two fingers from the display boundaries - here is my zoom set to 'one finger'

BUT WE Digress...

Back to Microsofty pages... this may or may not be .aspx at the MacOffice forum

here's my shot for you to compare oranges to oranges

Dec 30, 2014 1:59 PM in response to ChitlinsCC

That is specifically for Outlook on the Mac, not OWA via a browser. Not related at all. (Nor is the page zoom, BTW).

very curmudgeonly of you, James... I approve

'Tis not the content of the page at issue but the display thereof. Merely comparing DISPLAY results of a randomly picked page from the MacOffice forum - note that I stated "may or may not be .aspx" - but certainly Microsoft.

Additionally, if you would notice the statement I made " BUT WE Digress... " - meaning "the browser zoom display is not relevant, let's get back to the issue at hand"
