Flow: Preview message looks like an error and has question mark cursor
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Screenshot of preview warning

The preview indication triggered after pressing "Preview" in the reply editor looks like a warning or error. And the warning doesn't look like other MediaWiki warnings (class=errorbox). It also doens't look like what a warning would look like within the UI style that Flow itself uses. It's implemented as a lost paragraph with a custom text color.

It also has a custom cursor style (see screenshot) which is in my opinion confusing. The 'help' cursor is generally used for when hovering or clicking there will reveal additional information (e.g. definition, explanatory tooltip, or guidance popup). But in this case it probably was meant to communicate this is "helpful" text, but the text itself should make that clear. A regular text (default) or pointer cursor is probably better fitted.

Pushing this to high because the current user experience is pretty poor and this should be trivial to implement, we just need to agree on what it should look like.

Quiddity claimed this task.

Resolving, because we no longer have a wikitext-preview. There is only a switcheditor button, which uses VE as a 'preview'.
