Yes, that is very definitely a tagger issue!

I should prob take a look at that CSS as well, Stephanie...

Thanks Andrew and Stephanie for your prompt response!

Yes, Stephanie. Please do send me the CSS you mention. I will appreciate it. It will be really helpful.

Now I am embarrassed. I spent close to an hour puzzling over this and fiddling here and there with different settings to try to solve a problem I didn't understand. If I had just looked at the horizontal scroll bar. Now it looks so obvious.

One of our users had asked me to vastly increase the context because she needed to see a lot of context for the work she is doing but for some reason she cannot get the text of the paragraph by clicking on the link of the concordance. This works with the browsers I use but she claims she's tried with various browsers to no avail. Since I was busy, it was easier for me to just increase the context. The problem is that I had forgotten I had done it and now it didn't occur to me to go to the horizontal scroll bar.

Here's the problem:

"Vinguda la nit de las bodas, digué Eufemiano a son fill Aleix: fill, entrau al aposento a visitar a vostra esposa. Ho feu així com son pare li manà: saludà a la sua esposa, y li digué: Deu te salve criatura de Deu, esposa de Jesu Crist, y li comensà a contar la vida que feren les Verges, y las altres Santas que son en lo Cel, y que molt bo era lo Matrimoni per aquell que be usaba de ell; mes que molt millor, y mes santa cosa era la limpia virginitat, y que de això era Deu molt pagat, y tota la sua Cort celestial. Li digué altres cosas molt espirituals, que la gracia de Deu li inspirà. També li digué: germana y senyora, habeu vist que maravellosas y honradas bodas se nos han fet? Per ventura las habeu vos vistas, ni oídas tals? Ella respongué que no: Aleix li digué aleshores: pues, voleu vos, que aquestas honras, plahers y alegrias que las tingam vos y jo cada dia pera sempre? Digué ella: Senyor, si que ho voldria. Li digué ell, pues germana y senyora, ab vostra llicencia, si vos plau aniré de aqui a Jerusalem, y quant de alli vinga, portaré cosa ab que sempre tingam aquestos plahers y molts mes. A lo que digué ella que li plahía."    INDEF    W    __UNDEF__

It looks like a problem with the tokenization of text that appears within quotation marks.

ANYWAY: nothing is wrong. In the second screenshot, one of the query results (number 6) has a lefthand context that is very wide (because a ton of tokens are coming out as [UNREADABLE]). That makes that column of the display so wide that all the other columns are out of sight rightwards. Since the lefthand context is right-aligned, even that is invisible. So fi you scroll rightwards, it will all become visible.

And it helps to have a CSS layout that hides overflow text rather than extending the column beyond screen width, which gives a display that's much closer to the kwic format we're used to.

Not sure whether you still have to patch the PHP code to make it work, but I can send you the CSS that I use (the right trick was discovered by Laurence for AntConc).

Best,
Stephanie
