> the problem is it's a static representation of our code

Why is this a problem? It's the same code. For the two seconds when the popup
is on the screen it's exactly the same. If you can reproduce it on the example
page you can reproduce it everywhere.

Again: Today this happened to me multiple times. I tried to click one of the
links mentioned and nothing happened.

Wrong. Look at
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FZW#Kleine_Neuerung:_Hinweis_.E2.80.9EDeine_Bearbeitung_wurde_gespeichert..E2.80.9C

>From a regular users point of view this is a very obscure issue. A mouse click
does not work but one or two seconds later it works. I assume this happens to
many user. But nobody knows why this happens. Nobody knows where to report this
issue. I'm a web developer and I understand the reason is bad CSS. Most people
at Wikipedia are not web developers.

> you want clean code that covers edge cases

What the ...? Hell, no! It's not an "edge" case if everything is blocked under
an invisible rectangle. It's not about "clean" code if a z-index is misused.

> This issue can be replicated by other people and

Are you kidding? You said you can replicate it.

> This is obstructing an actual use case

Again, are you kidding? It is!

> Saw your screenshot and the fact that you're using Opera

I'm going crazy! This is not an Opera issue! It's the same bug in every single
web browser because this is how z-index is defined in the CSS specification! Do
I need to quote the W3C spec? Do I need to explain how z-index works? You are
using it wrong! It is applied to the wrong element! Fix this stupid bug and
find an other solution to position the popup in IE7 and below!
