 * I’m getting a weird cut off on some css I’m editing. Can anyone tell me why this
   is? It’s the slidecaption-grande
    Here’s the image
 * [http://postimage.org/image/y77eo20u3/](http://postimage.org/image/y77eo20u3/)
 * and here’s the code I’m dealing with: two sets from two different css files.
   
   First:
 *     ```
       #slidecaption-grande,.comment,#sideBar #toggle,.sendForm,h1,#fancybox-title{color:#d8d6d6;width:50%; height:50%;padding-top:0px; position:absolute; bottom:170px; right:0;}
       	#slidecaption {color:#000;}
       	p,p.slogan,a,.field,.fieldNotify,.tarea, .tweet .txt, #nav,.tweet .time, #footer,ul.list,.button {font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Helvetica", Arial;}
       ```
   
 * second:
 *     ```
       #controls-wrapper {width: 100%;height:220px; position: absolute; right:20px; bottom:50px;overflow:hidden;display:none;}
       			#slide-info { position:absolute; bottom:30px; right:0; color:#000; font:14px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin:0px 102px 0 0;   background:none; width:auto; height:50px; overflow:hidden; line-height:50px; padding:0 0 0 12px;display:none;}
       			#slidecaption { float:right; height:50px; overflow:hidden;  color:#000; font:400 14px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height:50px; padding:0 12px 0 12px; background:#000;}
       			#slidecaption-grande{ width:50%; font-family: "Bebas Neue"; font-size:50px;color:#e0e0e0;text-align:right;opacity:0.8;-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=80)";filter:alpha(opacity=80);float:right;padding-top:15px;/*ie fix*/position:relative;z-index:12;width:auto;/**/}
       ```
   
 * Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
    Any help much appreciated.

 * Look for line height styles you’ve added and increase the values.

 * Try the default `visible` value first, if `overflow` is the issue, there might
   be a height you could expand.

 * Auto gave me a scrollbar but still didn’t show it.
    Visible has no effect.

 * Update! Fixed it. It was in the above bit; controls wrapper.
    Looks like that
   was what controlled it. Thanks for all your help Andrew!
