Extended info sizes changed - 8.5.0 or 8.5.1 patches?

[Artisan]

I've just discovered that the extended info pop-ups on a site that I manage for a client are no longer big enough! When I started the job, I found that the window height should be 70 pixels more than the photo's height, and that the width should be 10 pixels more, that gave a nicely margined pop-up.

Now it needs to be +80 and +12... could it be the 8.5.0 or 8.5.1 patches? If there's nothing that can be done it looks like I'll have to go through the whole site resizing the windows

Has anyone else had this problem?

There's an article in the AUG for dynamic sizing, maybe worth a look at.

Maybe even an export of the catalog and an excel formula to do it all for you and then a re-import?

Cheers, Lee, it's amazing how a reply can kick the grey matter into action

Looking at one of the extended info subjects in the AUG made me think about layouts, which prompted me to look at the Extended Info Page Design droplist, in which I found all the usual choices plus duplicates with "v8_5_0_0" after them. As soon as I selected "Name and Info Text Displayed Below Image v8_5_0_0" in Site Options all the correct sizes popped back into place.

LOL, cool, it must have given you the new layout and you've swapped back to your old one. Just make sure that the new layout hasn't got something your old layout should have. Probably wise to use the compare facility and take a look, just to confirm.
