Explanation pop-ups cannot be fully seen nor closed on mobile
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

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

What happens?:

There is no way to get that explanation box off of the screen.
The worst thing to do is hit the browser's back button. This will require the user to take many steps to restore the original state they were looking at.

What should have happened instead?:

There should be some x closer button.
They're probably is. However the user needs to rotate there cell phone into landscape mode to see it perhaps. That should not be the case.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

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

Google Chrome.

As a matter of fact, that explanation box doesn't fit on screen either and cannot be slid to the left nor the right to see its full contents!

That looks like some local gadget. For future reference, please check in safemode to find out.

Jidanni, have you tried to touch the screen anywhere outside the popups box? Here, that'll close the box. As for the visibility of the box: you have either a very narrow display, or some magnification enabled. Here, on a phone with 720 horizontal pixels, the box displays in full. If your phone is narrower, rotating it might help.

It seems 7 out 8 things I report end up being gadgets.
Maybe here on Phabricator there should be added to the bug templates:
"Are you sure it wasn't a gadget?"
In fact there could even maybe be user defined reminders, that would appear
on top of the bug report template!

Today my cellphone is elsewhere. So I used an incognito browser window
and Developer Tools emulation to test.

And I couldn't even access the "[show]" button,
because it was outside the right margin!

You can easily find out before reporting by following https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Locating_broken_scripts, as pointed out several times before.

that would appear on top of the bug report template!

I've asked you more than a dozen of times to use task templates, so this comment seems rather ironic.

Well I used the template above. Anyway any reminder would need to be
