Hi! I noticed a small bug with subcategories displayed as boxes. When you scale your browser window, the text overflows outside of the box area.
I temporarily added this to account for it: .category-boxes .description {overflow: hidden;}.
Not sure if this is a bug specific to my theme, or just discourse in general, but I’ve seen the same across other sites like Projects - Codecademy Forums.
It’s a general Discourse issue.
We’re using JS to limit the overflow and keep the boxes at a consistent height, so the layout breaks on resize but fixes when you refresh.
This was originally implemented 3 years ago, and we’ve dropped IE11 support recently, so it’s probably a good time to update this layout to avoid the issue.
Thanks @awesomerobot, that makes sense!
I merged an update yesterday that updates how the overflow works. We now use CSS line-clamp, which will adjust on page resize without a refresh.

You’ll get this change the next time your site is updated.
Hi! I was wondering if there is a way to implement the Boxes with Subcategories setting only to one specific theme/ theme component? If not, is there a way to preview this setting without publishing?
