Not that I need it, but I find it odd that on my stats page, my dates are blacked out. Have the wonderful WP wordmonkeys being playing around? The blackout even moves around. It often covers some dates and not others and changes while I’m looking. I referring to the bar grap and the dates under each days bar.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thanks Timethief.

I’m using Windows 7 Professional (and plan to keep that; using GWX Panel to prevent upgrade to W10), and Firefox 45.0.1.

Just saying … I upgraded 3 PCs to Windows 10 months ago and experienced not a single glitch.

W10? Don’t want it. Don’t want it. Don’t want it.

By the way, a screen capture of my issue: https://app.box.com/s/er5e50onjiplbbbhah3tjfeq2osufipm

re: W10
I was so surprised that it was easy as pie to update, that I liked the OS, and that I liked the Edge browser too.

Thanks for the screenshot link for Staff.

Thanks for the screenshot @arrby! I used a browser emulator to recreate Windows 7 with Firefox 45. I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue though. Here’s what I experienced:

Is that black bar your scrollbar by chance? Do you have your screen width maxed out? Does the same thing happen in Chrome or IE?

I don’t use the horrible IE or Chrome browsers. The black bar actually moves around as I move my cursor over the bars. The scrollbar? No. Those are the dates under the graph bars, just as my image shows. The highlight effect is the hightlight effect. If it’s connected to a scrollbar, then it’s nothing I have any idea how to fix.

Hi @arrby,

I definitely understand that you don’t want to use IE or Chrome moving forward. Certainly not suggesting that as a permanent fix. I was just wondering if it was happening in another browser or if it was localized to Firefox. Any chance you could try one out just for testing?

Yes. That’s a reasonable suggestion. I will experiment and report.

I tried both EI and Chrome. Neither duplicates the problem. It’s only in Firefox.

Okay. I’ll live with this. I’m fine. I can still function. For now. Thanks?

Really weird that it’s happening just in Firefox. Definitely don’t want you to have to put up with that black bar. It shouldn’t be there for sure!

Could you check two more things for me? Could you navigate to Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons and let me know if you have any Add-ons installed?

I have 3 add-ons installed: 1. Privacy Badger / 2. Greasemonkey / 3. Roomy Bookmarks Toolbar. I also have 3 Plug-ins installed: 1. OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc / 2. Primetime Content Decryption Module provided by Adobe Systems, Inc.

I tried disabling all of my add-ons (restarting Firefox each time). That did not eliminate the black highlighter effect.

Thanks for trying though. I wish it wasn’t just me. Although, as I noted, I can live with this. It doesn’t impair me, thankfully.

Thanks for confirming @arrby! I’ll keep my eye out for additional reports here that could indicate this is a larger issue. Since I haven’t been able to reproduce though, it’s a bit difficult to troubleshoot. If you notice anything that might be causing this, please let us know.

I forgot to mention the Shockwave Flash plug-in.
