--- Comment #12 from TMg <[email protected]> 2012-10-23 23:00:07 UTC --- (In reply to comment #11) > 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. > The fact that there is only one person bringing this up is likely > an indicator of how common it is. 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! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
