Description

https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%9E%D7%93%D7%99%D7%94_%D7%95%D7%99%D7%A7Sandbox?veaction=edit as an anon yields to edit notices which together are way taller than the screen, which produces really weird behavior where you can't scroll to reach the bottom part of the edit notices.

Either the edit notices widget should be a ClippableElement, or it should have a max height and scroll beyond that (or both).

Version: unspecified
Severity: minor

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to High.Nov 22 2014, 2:52 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz62408.

I prefer both.

This bug doesn't really address the root issues here, which are that:

In some instances the edit notice box just needs to be wider if there's that much content to display.
We don't provide a way of proving VE-specific edit notices. Most notices are wrapped in coloured-margined-padded boxes which is unnecessary with our UI.
