Set filters button not accessible in Special:NewPagesFeed
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

I use the [[Special:NewPagesFeed]] with filters such as unreviewed articles by a particular editor. Such filters will give an empty result when all the selected articles have been reviewed -- you get the message "No pages match your criteria". One then wants to change the filters but the problem is that the green Set Filter button does not appear -- it is off the bottom of the screen and one cannot scroll to it. It is then difficult to get out of this hole.

I'm unable to reproduce. But I see what you mean. The fix is probably to increase

.mw-special-NewPagesFeed #mwe-pt-list {
    min-height: 550px;
}

to some higher number such as 700px.

Oh I see. It's because the panel floats. One workaround until I figure out how to fix this is to zoom out your browser.

Un-floating the top toolbar would fix this bug, but I'm not sure folks would want that. Hmm.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have confirmed that zooming is a workaround -- it worked for me with 67% zoom. This is useful as I didn't have a reliable workaround before.

We had a discussion about possible ways to solve this on-wiki that did not achieve a strong consensus. I may just make an executive decision and write a patch that un-floats the top part of Special:NewPagesFeed.
