Thanks confirmation text does not wrap if longer than available space
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Example image is from frwiki:Histoire_des_maires_de_France.

Reproducing:

  1. Using a medium-sized screen (mine has a 1366px width)
  2. Enable JavaScript.
  3. Log in to a wiki with Thanks enabled
  4. Set interface language to French
  5. Show a diff from a non-anonymous, non-bot user
  6. click the “remercier” link (“thank”)
  7. Wait for the nice animation to end.
  8. The surface should now look like this:

Expected behavior:
The text wraps so that I can click on any link.

Current behavior:
The end of the text is displayed outside the screen; I need to scroll horizontally in order to reach some links.

I think it should behave the same on any decent browser, given the existing CSS rules, but here is my UA string: "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0"

Both I and Romainbehar have experienced this bug (reported by him offline).

((
This became worse for me recently because of a zoomed Timeless where I have to scroll even for the “yes” link:

The text is liable to get longer in the near term because of T159302.
