New "Drop Down" thread titles - can this be shut off?

I noticed this a long time ago and blocked the element below with a browser extension.

Very helpful, thanks!  Not sure why I didn't think of that (I did try unsuccessfully to do that on that other news website, but not here). 

My extension came up with the same code you show when I told it to block that element, it's so much better now.  I do still have a very thin box that shows up under the pull down choices (OGR Forum, Subscribe, Digital Libraries, etc...) that I wanted to retain, but I can live with that, it's barely noticeable.

I'm a bit curious why I only noticed it today.  Maybe I was a bit behind in FF updates.... thanks again!

I do not see this, and I don’t have any browser extension installed. This is true in Firefox, Chrome and Internet Exploder.

I only see it on the example thread.

Must be something particular to the thread Dave shows. It happens for me on that one and no others I can find with a quick search. If the title is too long, it looks crazy.

Something he did when making the original post? Only one I see like that.

Just to chime in:

That's the only post I see like that.    I am pretty sure it has to do with the length of the post title.  When it wraps, the software does goofy things. 

The easy system wide fix is for crowdstack to implement a Thread Title character limit.

Edited to add:

I see there is a 255 character limit.   I just did a test topic and inserted 220 characters into the subject line. I navigated away then back to the test topic I created.    I got the same bad result as the original poster here did.

I then tested reducing the topic title to 150, and the issue went away.

No worries I have deleted the topic so you don't see a topic called "hhhhhhh"  out to 150 characters

Further checking shows that it this particular thread that has some kind of problem. I'm going to get CrowdStack Tech Support on this one.

I'm no longer worried about it since I have my solution, but it does happen to all threads without using the extension(for me).  Note above it's there (when I scroll below the top), but it's much less of a noticeable effect.

Just an FYI, don't have anyone go to effort on my account.  I'm all OK now .

Thanks for all the responses.

This has been fixed, at least for the Pat's Trains thread in question here. Pat had copied and pasted something into a reply further down in the thread, and that's what was causing this.

I fixed it.
