thread_title:  Adding to external links 

message: The two possible workarounds proposed here have both the same problem: they remove the margin between the text and the image, which in my situation is quite showy as I use Justified paragraphs. Here are the screenshots:
	
Is there a way to artificially add some white space between the text and the image? I find this proximity inelegant... // Duccio (write me) 17:27, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, you can use margin-left: 1.4em. However, the original uses border-left: 1.4em, at least on Monobook; I do not know why, nor do I know if margin-left: 1.4em looks correct on all skins. For now, I've changed the examples to use it. --cesarb 22:27, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Right text margin problem 

message: Is there a more elegant solution than that I have adopted at Redland, Bristol to the problem of having an infobox and images causing the bunching-up? I've put the image inside the float:right; clear:right -ed table, but that's obviously suboptimal. I tried to wrap the table and the image seperately inside another table, but that just went super-wacky (no diff, unfortunately, since I only did it in show preview). -Splash - tk 15:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox + images? 

message: What do you do when all the various images are different sizes?  Is there an option other than to put some on the left? Will (Talk - contribs) 22:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Different size images 

message: Here's a rule that will fix it once and for all:
.editsection {
    float:none;
    display: block;
    text-align: right;
    position: relative;
    top: 0.67em;
    line-height: 0;
}

thread_title:  difficult directions 

message: Several times I have, through some circuitous route, landed at this page. I have never been able to see any problem with the supposed examples, nor really understand what the symptoms of the problem are. Can I suggest one or more screenshots at the top of the page, with a big red arrow or circle saying "this is the problem that we're talking about"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.78.229 (talk) 02:49, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem pretty much only manifests those of us with high resolution screens who keep our windows maximized. I think a screenshot might not be a bad idea.HarryHenryGebel (talk) 23:01, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Screenshots needed 

message: This whole page is about to become obsolete. On MediaWiki talk:Common.css#Header lines, The DJ proposed adding a simple rule (h2 {overflow: hidden;)) to Common.css to prevent the header line from touching the various floating element, like infoboxed and images. I relaised that constraining the headers to the available space might also constrain the edit links and thereby preventing them from being pushed down the page, and I was right. A bugreport has been filed, and a temporary fix wil likely be implemented in Common.css very soon. For those wanting to see immediate result, put the following code in your CSS:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
    overflow: hidden;
}
Once the code is in place, the templates can be blanked, and we have no more bunching!  — Edokter • Talk —  15:55, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

text: I still see some pages that need work.  Dab pages often have a lot of whitespace near the top that I fix by use of a table.  I just fixed Legislative Assembly of the Cayman Islands by use of the  template.  I use to use the  template all the time, but now there does seem to be little need for it.  Every now and then I do come across a page where I wish I could still use that template, but I usually mess with it until I find a viable fix. – PIE ( CLIMAX )  21:00, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I have a problem with bunched-up images – see here for example:
It is caused by the use of two infoboxes (I know, I know). 
I have "fixed" it for now by moving the first image down below the first infobox. Another solution would be to move the second infobox down. I'm looking for better solutions though. Tony Mach (talk) 19:15, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A similar (but slightly longer) posting was made a few minutes later at WP:Village pump (technical)/Archive 102#Bunched-up images. Since VPT has far more watchers than this page, let's discuss on that page only, per WP:MULTI. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:33, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bunched-up images 

message: I'm suspicious that Wikipedia:Avoiding text gaps is discussing this same problem without having landed on the same solutions. Trying to Google up this page, that was the one I landed on first. -- Kendrick7talk 05:45, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The two problems had different causes, and so affected different browsers. The text gap problem only affected Internet Explorer, and was related to floating block-type elements like images and tables; I believe this is now fixed (at least for IE8 on), although I don't know when. The bunched-up edit links problem affected other browsers, certainly Firefox and (I think) Chrome and Safari, was related to section headings, and was fixed over three years ago. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:53, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
