It seems that the Page Options menu is being improperly placed, resulting in the menu options being cut off on any device width smaller than ~450px. I've observed this on a totally fresh installation of Mediawiki, using multiple skins, with nothing installed save for the most recent 1.44 release of the VisualEditor extension, across both Firefox and Chrome. This is also happening on multiple in production wikis and skins, on multiple mobile and non-mobile devices.
Firefox:
and Chrome:Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Download and install Mediawiki, using the current stable version of 1.44.2 from here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download , and the local development install instructions here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Local_development_quickstart .
- Download and install VisualEditor from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/VisualEditor , selecting 1.44.
- Update Mediawiki installation as per VisualEditor installation instructions, and enable the extension.
- Apply any skin with a mobile responsive layout; in the above case, Timeless.
- Attempt to edit any page from a device with a display width of less than ~450, and click the Page Options menu.
What happens?:
The menu is cut off by the edge of the display, making the options unreadable.
What should have happened instead?:
I assume the menu should be displayed full-width across the center. If you disable the menu element's 'right' and 'margin-left' properties, it appears to do so, as shown here:
Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
