Browser bugs
We've started tracking unresolved browser bugs that currently impact Bootstrap's development in some way. We call it the Wall of browser bugs. We've also documented a few new bugs with this release:
-
#10690: Reported a bug in Firefox for responsive images (those with
max-width: 100%
) in table cells. No other browsers are affected. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=975632. Until a fix is shipped, addwidth: 100%;
to your responsive images in table cells. -
#12548: Reported a bug in Chrome where date inputs stop resizing when appearing with
display: table-cell;
. See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=346051. -
#12476: Document IE8's limitation of borders on buttons in a justified button group. Currently the only way to get borders on those buttons is to wrap each button in an additional
.btn-group
, just like the button groups using<button>
elements.
