This task involves the work of revising the Topic Container implementation to ensure they can adapt to fill the white space that can sometimes appear atop talk pages.
=== Behavior
1. Visit a talk page on desktop in the Vector (2022) skin where **A)** Topic Containers are enabled //and// **B)** a floating archive box is present
-- //E.g. [es:Usuario discusión:Ignacio Rodríguez](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario_discusi%C3%B3n:Ignacio_Rodr%C3%ADguez) or [mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Usability](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Talk_pages_project/Usability)//
|2. ❗️Notice the large white space atop the page|

|3. ✅ Expected

=== Open questions
[ ] 1. What other right-aligned/floated elements (e.g. Images, infoboxes, {{tracked|TICKET}}) might we need to consider before converging on a solution to the layout issue this ticket is describing?
- [ ] 2. Are the layout issues removing `clear:Both` would introduce worthwhile? //Read: what's a better experience: excessive whitespace atop talk pages in some cases? Topic containers getting "smooshed" when `clear:Both` is removed?//
=== Done
- [ ] Expected behavior is implemented
=== Notes
@Tacsipacsi and @Ninovolador posit the unexpected behavior is caused by Topic Containers being assigned a `clear:both` property.
