Vector 2022: broken clicked link hotspot highlight in Firefox
Closed, DuplicatePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue:

  1. Use skin Vector 2022
  2. Go to any wiki page with images. Examples:
  3. Middle-click on an image with a link, e.g. the icon which leads to Wikipedia:Village pump (technical).
  4. Observe the clicked image

What happens?:
A blue rectangle (border around the hotspot) appears on top of the image. See screenshots below.

What should have happened instead?:

  • No blue rectangle
  • OR the blue rectangle doesn't intersect the image, and corresponds to the border of the image.

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

  • Firefox is affected the worst (I'm using version 126.0.2)
    • Chromium is also affected, but to a lesser extent – see the lynx screenshot below.
  • Reproduced both logged in and logged out.
  • Only Vector 2022 is affected. Monobook, Timeless, and Legacy Vector (2010) are not affected.
  • Previously discussed at enwiki's Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Blue rectangle when clicking images
