Standalone: Floating toolbar fails when page gets too long with keyboard-only input in minimal demo
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

Try it on https://wikimedia.github.io/VisualEditor/demos/ve/minimal.html

  1. Enter new lines in editor until the page starts to scroll vertically
  2. Observe the toolbar becoming a vertical mess on the top left of the page
  3. Bonus: With jquery3 obtain an exception due to a call of offset() on a non-DOM element.

The problem originates from toolbar initialization happening in addSurface(), but the element needs to be in the DOM to initialize element offsets properly.

A solution is to add the Target to the DOM before adding the Surface. See https://github.com/wikimedia/VisualEditor/blob/9be803f37cff257d11f563f07573204d23cf2053/demos/ve/demo.minimal.js#L25-L26

These lines should move up to line 16.
