Description

I have seen that case of overlapping on fr.wp while editing as a volunteer, using Firefox:

From https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillaume_Desboys?veaction=edit:

That overlapping varies depending on something I can't identify. See that example from https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehan_Grahant?veaction=edit:

Also, have the "label" title and the editing link bolder than the label itself makes that label difficult to read:

Thanks for bringing this up @Trizek-WMF - I agree with your observations.
To clarify, there seem to be two issues:

The edit label overlap - this feels like there needs to be a rule in place for after the ellipsis a space needs to be inserted - but as this seems to be happening inconsistently, I would imagine that there is something going on with the styling. I might be missing something more technical that is happening.

The styling of the label title - There are a lot of bold elements here competing for your attention so we should review the typographic hierarchy at some point.

cc/ @Volker_E - you might have more thoughts on this and be better able to address how to triage.

@iamjessklein The prioritization and organization improves with your current, scheduled work on the mobile link editing dialog. Any plans to take the good parts from there?

yes, I believe that this is going to be captured in T225725

@iamjessklein + @Volker_E: y'all are talking about extending the work we are doing on the mobile context items (see T225725) to the desktop context items? If so, then yep, this is our plan.

The conversation about how exactly the designs will be implemented on desktop is happening in this ticket: T226214
