Fix issues with gallery in IE11. #7465
Conversation
IE 11 is a horrendous browser, and its support for flexbox is equally horrendous. Galleries, as a result, had crazy stretched images. This PR fixes that.

Is anyone facing this problem after fix? I can still see stretched images, not all of them, just randomly in Internet Explorer 11. In other browsers it looks OK. I use fresh Gutenberg build form official wordpress plugins repo. |
Hi @tullsta, I just took galleries for a spin again in IE11. I can't reproduce any issues with image scaling. If you can provide steps to reproduce, perhaps send me the images you added to the gallery to produce the error, then I can take another look. I'm assuming this is an issue in the editor, not the front-end, correct? |
Hello @jasmussen thank you for quick reply. It looks the same both in front-end, and in editor. Wordpress v.4.9.8 Things to adjust:
Final result looks like in attached picture. Maybe it's problem in Zerif theme, I asked them, but with no reply so far. |
Thank you for the detailed steps. I will take a look. |
This PR is a followup to feedback in #7465 (comment). Notably there is an issue with image cropping in IE11 galleries. Simply, it doesn't really work because IE11 doesn't support object-fit. This means in some situations — for example a 2 column gallery with landscape, portrait, portrait images — the landscape image is skewed. This PR takes a somewhat radical consequence and simply disables cropping altoghether on IE11. But it works fine in Edge. This PR does a few other improvements too — it changes the IE11 hack to be a more solid one, using @supports(position:sticky) to augment the CSS for capable browsers, rather than relying on a contrast hack that fails if a user actually uses high contrast mode. In addition, it moves this hack from the editor style to the stylesheet file, so benefits affect both editor and theme.
Thanks for your steps. I made a PR in #9622. Good news and bad news — it now no longer skews images, but it also means cropping is disabled in IE11. |
