recoll results paragraph width is variable

As seen in the attached, some results paragraphs do not "conform" to what seems to be the "standard" specification for width (visible from results paragraph at top of image.

enter image description here

How can we control (limit) the overall width of the table to prevent the oversize table that was generated for "productdata.js" ?

Also, the left-side box with icon and "fit" factor is specified in the header with width = 100px, but the oversize table/paragraph seems to have overriden this and reduced the width to the width of the icon plus margin. Is there any way to prevent that from happening ?

The current contents of the paragraph CSS is:

<table style="background-color: #AFAFAF; width: 850px;"
<!--    <table class="parspec" style="background-color: #AFAFAF;"   -->
    border-style="none" border-color:="" border="0">

        <a class="thumbnail" href="#">
            <img src="%I" width="64px" height="auto">   <!-- set width of thumbnail -->

Solution

  • After discussions with the developer for recoll, it has been determined that the problem was not with the customizations that I was attempting to apply.

    The root of the problem was in fact a bug in the recoll code.
