Seems I'm running into one of GOG's bugs that "isn't fixable". According to support, it happens to a small group of users who's, like mine, ip addresses change. I've got a IP address and my ISP has one, and GOG sees both, so no luck downloading :P (without using the support supplied workaround

I think it must be a recent GoG change (because I've never noticed it before and now can't help but see it) but I'm getting a weird bug with the footers in the forum. Basically there's an extra large space at the bottom of the forum, but only if I don't hover over the last post in a thread (if that makes sense).
So if I hover the mouse over the second last post on a page I get a big space, and if I hover over the last post I get a normal one. I've tried an Incognito window with no scripts and it still does it (and I tried Barefoot's fix for what sounds like a similar issue but it does nothing, it fixes it sometimes but other times makes the footer overlap the last post, so it's no good)
See attached images.

Firefox and Safari for Windows show only the regular space (regardless of hover).
Internet Explorer shows only the large space (regardless of hover).
It's caused by a `.footer-spacer { height: 410px; }` rule in legacy.10.css that's the shortest of quite a stack of media-query-gated rules of similar nature and seems to be some kind of "prevent the footer from covering up the last post" hack that wasn't actually paired with one of the CSS rules that would take the footer out of the normal layout calculation flow (eg. things like `position: absolute`).

This sounds a lot like the issue real.geizterfahr reported a few days back, and he's also on Chrome, so perhaps mrkgnao is not that far off, and it is something specific to that engine.

Without the use of BE there is indeed a large space between the last post and the footer, regardless of browser. But note that what both adaliabooks and real.geizterfahr reported is a bit different and caused by hovering over the two last posts of a forum page.

Also, I suspect it might be JavaScript-related because it's not directly tied to hover. (The space collapses when your cursor enters the last post but only expands when you enter another post, not when you leave the last one.)
EDIT: Nope. I disabled JavaScript and it's still happening... so my next hypothesis is that it's some kind of Blink layout engine bug where the relevant code only runs on entry into a block with a :hover rule like the one which displays the "Online" badges and permalinks.
...and I've just confirmed that it IS Blink-specific because mrkgnao says it happens in Chrome and Opera but not Safari for Windows and I've also confirmed that Arora (QtWebKit) and Midori (GTKWebKit) are unaffected. Unfortunately, I don't have a QWebEngine demo handy, so I can't check whether the Qt5-provided version of Blink is also affected.
