Hi Jon,

Thanks for your time on this.

Tricky....good news is that I now have access to a Mac with FF3.0.1
and I can now see the problem too.
I brought up the JFK example on the mac and it is quite interesting
how some of the labels wrap and others don't

Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to investigate this
further (it's certainly on my list but other items are higher.)

==>> Could you investigate creating a minimal timeline example html
that demonstrates the wrapping problem on a Mac? Eg, no Google map, no
background, just a couple of events, etc. I'll then use it in a bug
report to the Firefox people. In addition, it will help me try and
figure out the issue here.

Thank you for any time you can put into this.

Thanks! I appreciate your testing, help and time too.

Interesting. Sounds like the scroll events initiated by the gesture
are not being canceled in the Timeline handler. The event is canceled
near the end of function Timeline._Band.prototype._onMouseScroll
in file src\webapp\scripts\timeline.js
look for the comment "prevent bubble"

The Mac I have ready access to does not have a touchpad (it's a
desktop), so I can't test the problem.

I have added your comment to the Wiki mouse-wheel page.

just Safari?

Allow me to get very specific for a moment:
The .../api-2.0/... library on MIT,
http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/api-2.0/timeline-api.js
should NEVER change since any changes might effect some pages that
make use of those files.

Once we have a 2.1.0 (and later releases), the question will be
 "will api-2.1.0 be available from the MIT server or elsewhere? (on
url .../api-2.1.0/...)"
afaik, at this point, the question is tabled until David H hears back
from Google. I'll be meeting with a contact at a large internet
company on the 18th, that will be another possible hosting option.

Regards,

Larry
