Am I the only one having this problem in the Sololearn's website or do you have it too??? Please Help.

Question

Sololearn has done a pretty good job updating its looks and I like the improvement but now I have noticed a problem in scrolling in the code playground on my computer.
When coding in Python and the code result is larger than the page, the overflow is hidden.

BTW my computer runs on Windows and I use Chrome

Is there anyone else having this problem or is me only since my computer is becoming outdated? I may send feedback to Sololearn if am not alone in this

Answer 1

Kode Krasher Interesting... I just now tested using these machines and versions:

MacBook Pro 16" late 2020
MacOS Catalina 10.15.7
+ Chrome v87.0.4280.88
+ Safari v14.0.2

MacBook Pro 15" mid 2015
MacOS Big Sur 11.1
+ Chrome v87.0.4280.88
+ Safari v14.0.2

Windows 10 Pro, version 1909
+ Chrome v87.0.4280.88
+ Edge v87.0.664.66 (Chromium based)
- IE11 (Expected to not work)

On these various codes:

https://code.sololearn.com/W1XXMV9DNNnQ/?ref=app

https://code.sololearn.com/W1f8KBT14f77/?ref=app

https://code.sololearn.com/W9e4QbH8LXeJ/?ref=app

The only nonstarter was with IE11. But that's more to do with IE11 than SoloLearn.

I don't have a Windows machine with the older Edge version that was pre-Chromium. At this point, I wouldn't expect any support for that older version of Edge either.

Is there a reason for running on the older Edge engine still?

Answer 2

Which version of Edge are you testing with?

Answer 3

In anycase, I can't help but wonder if there is something else causing the problems you're experiencing where I'm unable to replicate using the same or similar environments.

Answer 4

Are you sure you're on the Chromium version of Edge?

I'm not sure what you mean by SL preventing 270 million Windows desktops from being able to use their website. Are you referring to IE11 users?

Answer 5

Mizu Sylvester Phiri I have the app but I find it easier to code on my laptop than on phone. It saves so much time and coding on phone is tedious.

Answer 6

It's curious that my version of Edge is 87 while yours is 44. That's why I'm suspecting you are on a much older version of Edge - and possibly the non-Chromium version.

If the version of Edge is in fact Chromium based, I find that even more perplexing because Edge is based on the same engine as Chrome.

So, the mystery deepens as to why you are running into such issues across OS's, devices, and browsers.

There are many other factors that we could explore, but it would go well beyond the scope of this thread.

My point is to say that there might be other factors beyond the control of SoloLearn at play. Without knowing more about the meticulous steps involved in isolating the variables, it's hard to say or know what those factors might be.

Also... it's more likely than not that SL should work with the older version of Edge. I just can't confirm without testing it myself.

Answer 7

I now see that you're on the legacy EdgeHTML engine which will no longer receive anymore security patches from Microsoft in less than 3.5 months. That's something to be aware of.

This legacy version has been replaced by the Blink (Chromium based) Engine.

I was actually surprised to see anymore updates on the EdgeHTML version after January 15, 2020.

You can see all the release versions for both engines here:

Here are the versions and very active release versions for the Blink Engine:

Answer 8

Hmm... I need to look again later. Maybe I'm reading my version number wrong. 🤣😂

Answer 9

Thought of just getting the app? 🤷🏾
