SimpleXML: text size of single value element ignores height with version="1.1"

helge — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 16:14:50 GMT

In a single value element, the text size always adjusted dynamically to the element's height. E.g., if you use the mouse to increase the single element's height, the text becomes larger.

However, once you add the tag version="1.1" to the topmost dashboard or form element, the text size is fixed and does not adjust to changing heights any more.

Reproduction

In Splunk's web UI, create a new "classic" dashboard
Add a single value visualization with the following search: index=_internal | timechart count
Use the mouse to make the panel higher
Notice how the single element's font size adjusted to the higher panel (it increased dynamically)
Save the dashboard
Edit the dashboard's source: change <dashboard> to <dashboard version="1.1">
Save the dashboard
Refresh the page (press F5)
The single element's font size is now smaller and it does not adjust to changed heights
Revert the changes in the source, save the dashboard, and refresh the page
The font size is adjusted correctly again

Hey @helge - I spoke to the development team and a fix for this has already been merged and should be released with the next Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud releases.

Hey @thellmann, which version of Splunk Enterprise will the fix be included in? I tested again with the current version 8.2.2.1: it's not fixed there.

Hi @helge , the fix is currently planned for Splunk Enterprise v8.3.0, which is tracking release around .conf time.
