I encountered a problem whereby an overlapping issue in the K2 Admin panel effectively "obscured" several rows of my Joomla core admin icons in ALL browsers except IE8. With help from the Joomla.org forum, we traced the issue to the following:

I had a quick look and the problem is the K2 admin panel that is in the administrator position 'icon'. It is below the standard quick icon panel and the K2 module title is incorrectly extending right over the standard Joomla icons, except for the very top 10 pixels. As a temporary fix I have swapped the two panels around. You may need to get an updated version of that K2 admin module. You could always hack the css to fix it but probably best to raise it on the K2 forum or with the developers.

This apparent CSS issue was identified in the course of discussion that provides a workaround to the problem.

The div id to change is k2QuickIconsTitle.

It is in:

http://SITE URL/administrator/modules/ ... /style.css

line 11

Find this:

margin: 16px 0 0;

It should be:

margin: 96px 0 0;

I recently updated to the latest K2 version, which apparently triggered this problem. Here are my questions:

1. Did anything change in the update that might account for the introduction of the overlap issue?
2. Is there already an updated or replacement module available that corrects this issue? If not, would it be possible to repackage and send me one, so I need not worry about overwrites on update?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Same issue here.

No problem in IE8.
Problem in Firefox 7.
Problem in Chrome.

Simple way to fix it - add clear:both; for div#k2QuickIconsTitle in

administrator\modules\mod_k2_quickicons\tmpl\css\style.css - line 11

so it will be
