Description

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

Go to this page on French Wikipedia
Scroll down to the table in #Planètes découvertes

What happens?:
The check message shows up to the right of the table, while the paragraph it relates to is far below it, and not visible at that place, leading editors to think that the check relates to the table instead.

What should have happened instead?:
The check message should show up next to the relevant paragraph.

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
Firefox Version 152.0.6 (64-bit) on Windows 11, display resolution 1920 x 1080, scale 125%

I can't persuade this one to happen.

I was immediately suspicious of the browser scaling being applied, but although the moment of scale changing in Firefox does throw positions off (because Firefox doesn't trigger a window resize event, unlike Chrome/Safari) it doesn't persist through you focusing a check (or doing anything else that triggers a redraw, which is a lot).

Can you think of any other details about your setup that might be relevant?

@DLynch it's not browser scaling (my browser is at regular 100% scale), just screen scaling (physical pixels per virtual pixel).

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. I guess I'm still suspicious of that, then, but it might take me a bit to manage to test this under Windows screen scaling. Unless you don't mind changing to 100% and seeing whether the problem still occurs?
