Twenty Twenty-One: No Wrapper in Internet Explorer 11

[nravota12]

I installed and tested the new Twenty Twenty One on Windows localhost using xampp. When opening the installation with Internet Explorer, the theme seems to not have a container and all the text expands throughout the whole screen.

Hi!

This is on purpose, the theme never aimed to look identical in every browser.
There is limited support for Internet Explorer where we have made sure that all content is readable.

Hi!

If the theme does not support Internet Explorer browsers then I think we should add a message that told the user that the Twenty Twenty-One theme isn't supported in Internet Explorer browsers.

Or we can add Internet Explorer browser-related CSS set content width and padding.

Agree!

Hi
WordPress no longer supports IE11.
I added a short paragraph to the support page for the theme, mentioning that it has limited support for IE11: ​https://wordpress.org/support/article/twenty-twenty-one/#quick-specs

I recommend that this ticket is closed as fixed or perhaps as wontfix.

setting the default max-width for IE at mobile and desktop breakpoints

I think this is worth fixing (but not #52312). IE has trouble with min() for the max-width values.

I tried defining the standard max-width in ie.scss. There is a range just below desktop—711 to 821 pixels—where the width is more than 610px, but that would be better than letting it cover the full width. If editing %responsive-aligndefault-width works, that could be neater than my patch.

The patch has not been tested nor improved in the past year. Now testing in IE is more difficult for me and probably at least as difficult for any committer. Plus, the value of changing it this late is much less than when the ticket was opened.

I'm closing as wontfix. If 'fixed' is more appropriate, would the milestone be WordPress.org?
