Play button is over top of controls since z-index change
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Since 3bc774a6ccb30ac6, there is now a giant play button over top of the play controls for audio files.

On one hand this kind of looks odd. On the other hand, the play button goes away on actually playing the file, so maybe its ok, a kind of button to "activate" the audio file. I don't know.

As for changing it, i guess we could also increase the z-index of the play controls, but where does it end with the z-indexes...

I've also seem some issues with those play buttons floating over other files' popup players, looks like related bad z-index to me.

ich, that's much worse than the audio issue. Maybe 3bc774a6ccb30ac6 should be reverted. But having the play button not be clickable in a pop-up sucks quite a bit too. *sigh*

Reason:
Figured out a better solution (gerrit change 150285)

So apparently all z-index issues can be solved by just not messing with z-index in the first place (z-index: auto).
