VisualEditor: Feedback dialogs not scrolled to when editing section on long page
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

I clicked to edit a section of a long article, and when I tried to file a bug, it looked like the screen just went dark - I couldn't immediately see a dialog box. It turned out to be because the feedback dialog was overlayed above the section I was editing, which was way, way down the page, and the browser didn't scroll to that part of the page when I pressed the button.

Where did you click exactly? Link to that long article is also very welcome. :)

Does this refer to the "Leave Feedback / Submit Feedback" dialog available from the "Help" (question mark) button in VE's toolbar?

I cannot reproduce in Firefox 36 and Chrome 41 trying with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburg?veaction=edit - is this still a problem?
Setting task status to "Stalled" for the time being...

Ahm, I'm sorry (obviously requires VE to be enabled to see those section heading links).
Tried on http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Arrr0.5320366523148922&veaction=edit&vesection=2 but still the "Submit feedback" dialog is centered.
Still cannot reproduce with Chrome 41 or Firefox 36.

Unfortunately closing this Phabricator task as no further information has been provided.

@Greenrd: After you have provided the information asked for and if this still happens, please set the status of this task back to "Open" via the Add Action...Change Status dropdown. Thanks!
