With you see africa twice you mean that the map is zoomed so much out that the continent africa is showed twice?
Here is my discussion in the google maps group about that:
groups.google.com/group/google-maps-js-a...960/8a141212d5c9b1f3
- when you close the menu I'm not calling the fitBounds event - you don't want to reposition the map there again. As a user you are hiding the bar to gain more space and not to get yet another repositioned map...
- yep, not sure about that grey bar. I've seen it myself and I've spent a lot of hours trying to figure out what is going on. It happens most of the time in chrome, but in IE9 and firefox it is fine... If you have any ideas feel free to shoot
Btw; just that you know - the labs.compojoom.com is not updated frequently. As a matter of facts the css is broken there. I'll most probably update it on Sunday as I'm getting very close to a version that will be ready to be released.
