Description

Toolbar overlapping page head links Firefox 22/Linux/Monobook

In Firefox 22 on Linux with Monobook skin (not tested in other combinations) sometimes the VE toolbar overlaps the page head links and tabs (userpage etc). See the screenshot.

I haven't figured out how to reliably reproduce this but the following sequence /usually/ seems to work.

  1. Make one or more changes to a page in VE
  2. click on an element near the left or bottom of the window (to trigger bug 52317)
  3. open the save page dialog
  4. with the dialog still open, scroll to the very top and very bottom of the page
  5. close the save dialog without saving
  6. click a different element and repeat steps 3 to 5.
  7. scroll to the top of the screen and observe the position of the toolbar.

If it doesn't work, try again from step 2.
It doesn't always work, but actions like this do seem to trigger it more often than not. I don't know whether this is dependent on bug 52317 but it was in testing that bug that I found this one.

It happen to me several tipe with MacOS 10.6 and Firexfox 22.0.

I didn't need to do all those step to get this bug, it was enough to scroll down, modify something and then go back up. It doens't always happen, but when it doesn't, it is usually enough to repeati the above operation to get the overlapping.

users Jay8g and Wouterstomp at en.wp have confirmed this happening in "Monobook, FF 22, Windows 7" and in Chrome (presumably on Windows) respectively.

Jay8g provided a screenshot at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:VE_error-top_bar_over_toolbar.jpg

This was fixed last week (but not deployed yet, sorry) - merging with the other report.
