Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

Make sure you are logged in and have "relevant languages" defined
Go to any page where you may see the banner encouraging to translate the article into your "relevant languages"
Open the ULS drop-down menu
Pay attention to the top of the menu

What happens?:

If the connection is not very fast, you will have the part with the language list loaded first, and next the "missing relevant languages banner" loaded.
If you attempt to click quickly, while the banner is being loaded, you may end up clicking a different link

What should have happened instead?:
The banner should be loaded together with the list

The feature was introduced with T290972, but I wonder if it is not a more recent regression…

As noted, that pop-up delay creates annoying misclicks.

User CSS to your global.css to stop misclicks:

.cx-uls-relevant-languages-banner {
	display: none;
}

That's exactly what I did (albeit using Stylish extension), but it would be great tp have a proper fix on this (or any traction at all).

This feature/bug is so annoying!

It has been an annoyance for around a year now, and I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed yet. I can't be the only one fed up about this.

Yes, supposedly I can suppress the bug manually by writing a CSS code, but it would be better to fix this for all users on the platform by default. It says "279,039 users are trying this feature."

It is a very cumbersome bug for multilingual editors in particular, which are very important editors on Wikipedia.

Fudge this is annoying. Kindly do the needful at your earliest convenience.

Still an issue a year later
