In T327515 the blue dot will be removed altogether. That's going to happen soon, so I don't think it's worth making any changes to fix this bug.

I note however that that gadget only turns off jQuery animations (with $.fx.off) and isn't setting prefers-reduced-motion (which I don't think is possible to do with a script, as it's a browser preference).

We should've made sure the blue dot honoured prefers-reduced-motion. That wouldn't have helped users of this gadget though.

Thanks for the help.

It already respects prefers-reduced-motion, thanks to accessibility.less which disables all animations. Similar code could probably be added to that gadget.

Referenced issue is no longer applicable due to the resolution of T327515: Remove Realtime Preview's Beta Feature and Onboarding UI — many thanks for the report :-)
