Bug ID: 50405
Summary: Section edit links reserving space on the right for
"edit source" link (even when floated right)
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MediaWiki integration
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Until a recent MediaWiki change the default behavior of edit section links was
to float to the far side of the heading (right on LTR Wikis, assume this case
in the following).
This was changed recently but almost all Wikis provide Gadgets to restore the
old behavior (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-righteditlinks.css or
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-editsection-align-end.css for
examples)
The problem is, that the VisualEditor's fly-out-links reserve space to the
right for the "edit source" link. Therefore when aligning the links right they
actually appear with a large distance to the page-margin. The fly-outs should
therefore be modified to not reserve any space so the "edit" link is correctly
aligned right.
To prevent the fly-outs to shift the whole "edit" link left as soon as they
become visible they could be changed to fly-out to the left in this case or to
the bottom.
