This isn't strictly true. Depending on the browser window width, the tabs can
be obscured (cf. attachment 11212).

Earlier today I was working on the English Wikipedia and I saved an edit and
quickly tried to click to the "talk" tab, but it was obscured for a second or
two by this notification.

Generally, the MediaWiki skins system is so terrible and broken that we haven't
really hit many issues because we kind of assume that any skin available in
Special:Preferences is supported, when that's not really the case. I think
right now we (somewhat frequently) get hit by the issue of what level of
support to provide users who have non-standard (non-default) setups. In the
case of Monobook, the non-default is still a major problem because so many
users continue to use Monobook.

There are a few approaches to take here. One might be to say "we only support
Monobook, Vector, and [whatever the next skin is]" and resolve bugs against
Chick or Modern or whatever as "wontfix." Another (better) approach might be to
make a sane skinning system and build in a dedicated place for messages like
this into any skin.
