Block's Edit Menu Screwy
Permalink
First up, C5 is really cool...and I've uploaded my personal theme just fine.
I have a main body content section where I have the block installed, and in edit mode it shows up. It's NOT inheriting the specific styling for main content as far as font style, but the big problem is that when in edit mode, when you left click the block to get the menu, what I get is a scrunched up menu with everything overlaying something else, it's a jumbled mess.
I really need help to make the menu normal again. I have noticed this happens when I've tried to add menu boxes on regular HTML sites, vertically, I have to add in the BR tags per line in the source code itself, otherwise menu contents do the same thing - jumbled up, overlapping mess and completely useless.
This is what's happening with these menus for editing. I can't access any of the options. PLEASE HELP.

Thanks for replying.
I have the styles set as line-height: 0.50cm; and just removed all instances of that, but it's not changing the edit menu at all.
I didn't add anything for autonav. Just went by that one video on changing a template to c5 in 8 minutes. Did everything the guy in the video did and got that problem.
The page itself is just using tables, not divs. Everything worked so far, just the edit menu is all jumbled.
I have no idea why this happens.

Just in case...here is exactly what I did.
1. I have a site design & page template made already; uses simple tables with inline styles for the TDs, as well as the style info in the header, not a separate file.
The only thing I was trying to do here is make the main table content editable.
2. I went to this page:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/make-a-theme/... and followed Andy step by step where it was relevant - basically just added the get theme tag before the icon and the main header graphic, then added the main content tag to the main table cell where the content is going. Saved it as default.php and uploaded same as he did.
3. Installed fine, no problems.
4. Went into edit page mode and clicked the available edit block...and the menu is screwy.
Please help! Thanks!
PS Is there just no house support at all for c5? It's their stuff, you'd think they'd be more available to help people figure things out.

Double check your heights and stuff and possibly your MENU css if your using something different than the auto-nav.
Bottom line - seems to be a height or spacing issue in your style sheets.
