series page not showing all works

On this series page, when I click View All, only five books show, instead of the seven which should. It has been like this for several days.

Could you tell us what browser and operating system you use?
This might help the programmers narrow down where the bug is.

>2 gilroy: Yeah, that would be useful information. As it is, all seven books show up immediately for me without having to click "show all".

I think that OP means the covers - I can see only 6 there even with "Show all" (FF and Chrome on Win and Chrome on a Chromebook). Yesterday only 5 were visible btw - so I suspect there is caching involved so probably wait and see for a day.

It is the Whale that is missing so I start wondering if we do not have an issue with the size of these covers and if it is not just hidden on the right at the moment...

>4 AnnieMod: I see 7 covers on my wide-screen monitor

ETA: I think the problem is with wide covers, as >4 AnnieMod: suggested. Here's another series with wide covers where not all of the covers show, even after clicking "show all"

>5 norabelle414: Interesting. My monitor's also widescreen, so I can see all of the "Animals at Home" covers by default. But if I play with my browser window, I can easily find some widths where covers in the first row get completely cut off.

I did some poking around with this, and it isn't limited to wide covers; it's just more likely to show up when a series has wide covers, especially if there are multiple wide covers in a row.

It looks like each of the covers on the series shelf is in its own container/cell/div, and those containers seem to have set dimensions and spacing, optimized for "normal" cover dimensions (read, rectangular with the narrow ends at the top and bottom). If you are viewing a series page on a wide-screen monitor then the spacing issues aren't likely to manifest, but if you play around with the width of your browser window you can even get the effect with non-wide covers.

Yup. Has to be monitor related. On my wide screen monitor, I see all 7 no problem. On my laptop, I see the first six and the seventh is sliced to about a quarter of the cover.
