PDF Iframe bug in Chrome

[alan.hayes]

Hi guys,

This one is a humdinger. Previously to about a week ago, this was working perfectly. I had PDF file open in an IFrame. But a couple of days ago this suddenly stopped working. Now, the Chrome window bizarrely zooms out as far as it can (to zoom level 10%). This only happens for PDF IFrames, normal web pages display fine.

It's also impossible to zoom back in.

You can see both in the following simple Test Case. Just comment out the PDF file, and uncomment the Google link to see the difference.

import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.HTMLPane;

public class TestEntryPoint implements EntryPoint {

    public TestEntryPoint(){
    }

    public void onModuleLoad() {
        HTMLPane w = new HTMLPane();
        w.setWidth(800);
        w.setHeight(600);
        //w.setIFrameURL("http://www.google.ie");
        w.setIFrameURL("http://www.selab.isti.cnr.it/ws-mate/example.pdf");
        w.draw();
    }
}

Note: You'll have to close the "PDF Iframe" chrome window before looking at the "Google IFrame" Chrome window, otherwise the "Google IFrame" window will be zoomed out also.

Thanks,
Alan

Ah, this isn't a SmartGWT, or even GWT issue. It's a Chrome problem.
