Event Timeline

Yup, I can reproduce it after logged out and when under mobile-responsive mode (addition of ?useformat=mobile&useskin=vector-2022 at the end of the links for any Wikimedia projects, let say Wikipedia).

I have submitted a patch for this issue.

The fallback logic in VectorComponentUserLinks.php has been updated to use the userAvatar icon instead of the ellipsis icon for anonymous users. This ensures the correct icon is displayed on small resolutions without requiring any CSS-specific overrides.
