Long image descriptions partially visible when UI is hidden in image viewer
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

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

  • Open an article (example: TrueType).

Tap a wikilink that leads to an article with multiple images (example: Times New Roman → Times Roman).

Open the image preview and scroll until you find an image with a long caption/description (approx. 8 lines).

Tap the previous image to hide UI elements (description, caption tools, etc.).

Scroll back to the image that has the long description.

What happens?:
In the “UI hidden” mode, the long image description still partially peeks out instead of disappearing fully.

The “add a caption” pencil icon also appears when it should be hidden.

This only happens with images that have long descriptions.

Images with short descriptions behave correctly.

What should have happened instead?:

When UI elements are hidden, the entire description and caption tools should disappear completely, regardless of length.

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