Safari browser rendering issue
Hello
I have a client whose browser (Safari) isnt rendering properly when he's signed in to Perch. The fields and labels are written over each other. I have a screen grab but can't figure out how to append it to this post.
Can anyone help?

If you can pop your screenshot up on a server you can show the image here using:
Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully you can see that.

Is this a fresh install or an update? Did you clear your cache?
It's neither a fresh install nor an update, rather a new end-user doing the updating for a particular website.
I'll ask them to clear their cache to see whether that helps.

Apparently clearing the cache didn't make any difference...
Did I say that it is in an Apple environment? I use Windows and have never seen that issue at all and use at least six of the main browsers including Safari.
Any other ideas?
How so? Surely it's one or the other.
Hi Drew, this site is neither new nor an update. The person who used to update it has moved on and I have a new person instead. When they sign in to Perch using Safari in an Apple environment they get a scrampbled broswer as per the screen grab above.
Do you know what might be causing the issue? It seems to be only around the categories in "Blog". He has cleared his cache and his browser is up-to-date. Let me know if you need further info.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure where to go with that - it's like saying "the light is neither on nor off".
Can you show me your diagnostics report please?
Must confess don't understand your light on/off simile. Not sure how to make it any plainer: it is not a new installation and I have not updated it. I have however got a new end-user doing the updating. They are new to it and are getting the issues described above. It is a shame because as they are a new end-user they are a little nervous and this is a slight barrier to uptake.
I will ask them to produce a diagnostics report or would it be equally helpful if I did that. Iedoes it need to be the actual user?
Thanks for all your help!

The diagnostic report is the same for all users. The extended version would be helpful at this stage.
Not seeing an option for an extended version of the diagnostic report.
Meanwhile, should I post it here?
Cheers - Mark
Hi Mark,
If you go to Settings > Diagnostics, and scroll down you should see a "View Extended Report" button underneath the Summary Information. This will show you the full diagnostic report.
The Safari and OSX version might be useful too.
Thanks Michael - that's very helpful. Do you know whether it is safe to post it here? Ie it won't reveal any personal info?
Thanks again.
Cheers - Mark
Nothing personal is shown really - it shows the site URL so if you don't want that shared just delete that bit.
Thanks again Michael. I couldn't actually find the "View extended report" button or the Safari or OX versions. Hey, ho, here's what I could find:
Perch information
Hosting settings
Safari and OSX versions would need to be from the client, they wouldn't be in the report. Just cos I am on a Mac and could try and reproduce for you with that info.
Hi Michael, didn't realise that. Drew said the diagnostic report is the same for all users. That'll might take me a while to get a response back form the end-user. I'll go and ask him now.
Thanks again.

That is a very old version of Perch you are running, I would look at updating that as a first port of call tbh
Yes, you're likely right. The thing is if I upgraded Perch everytime they released a new version I'd be doing nothing else with my life ;o)
Still - you're right, I'll update it first.
Cheers - Mark
You don't need to update to every version, but it would be a logical first step if you're seeing a problem.
