Hooray for iterative improvements!

Large-scale work on improving this dialogue isn't really in scope now, and its complexity means there's probably not much we can do in the way of small-scale improvements. There was a bit of discussion about removing it from the mobile visual editor for now—is that the approach people feel we should take?

What's the progress on this task? It appears to have sat here for quite a while, but I know from talking to people that the implementation is in progress.

Based on a discussion just held with @Neil_P._Quinn_WMF and @Esanders, this work is complete—the schema is adequately defined for implementation.

@Deskana: I just remembered the issue you filed couple weeks ago: T203720 .This seems a bit like that one. Atleast that detached drop-down part. Although the steps to replicate you mentioned did not involve any scrolling.

@Ryasmeen This is high priority, but people are having trouble reproducing it, so this is stalled on getting more detailed reproduction steps for now.

Let's assume this is part of T198010, then. Feel free to reopen if this issue persists.

Yep, can no longer reproduce. Nice!

Overhauling and fixing these metrics is important for establish baselines for our work to improve mobile visual editing, so the Editing Q1 2018-19 mobile improvements tag does apply here.

@Tchanders Nice timing on the ping! I was just looking at this. I think this can be removed for the reasons that @matmarex pointed out above.

I can't reproduce this any more, and given that nobody else could reproduce this issue either, I assume it was something silly on my end.

There's more to do here to get this to an ideal state, but this is at least an iterative improvement.

I can't reproduce this now, so I guess we have to assume that this is fixed until we prove otherwise.

Can you give more detail about what "enable the visual editor" means for you? Do you mean have it as the default editor? Or have the source editor be the default editor, with the option of switching to the visual editor?

There is a task to try to quantify if the addition of the sitemap actually increased traffic; see T202643 for more details.

@Esanders When I experience this issue, running that JS fixes it for the rest of that edit session. It seems like you're on to it!

This issue is still present for me, but I can't reproduce the issue in Safari or in an incognito window. I think the onus is on me to try to diagnose exactly what it is about my setup that is causing this issue...
