Unable to use plus-sign in toolbar when composing post in maximised view

When composing a post (for example this one that I’m composing right now), I can maximise the editing window with the angled double-arrow at the top right.

Angled double-arrow

When I do this, however, the plus-sign in the toolbar doesn’t work.

Here’s what it looks like in normal mode, when it works:

But, in maximised mode, it appears to do nothing when I click the plus-sign.

The same happens when I select the “Close” button at the bottom. It should ask me whether I want to Discard, Save draft for later, or Keep editing, but nothing appears to happen. What actually happens is that the dialogue is displayed behind the maximised window, and becomes visible if you restore the editing window to its normal size.

It seems that the dialogues have a lower display (z-axis) priority than the maximised editing window.

My normal browser is Chrome. I’ve tried using a different browser, specifically Firefox, and that did the same.

I can confirm this on my machine using FF.

Thanks for reporting this, much appreciated.

I cross-checked on 3 other Discourse sites and this is what it should look like in fullscreen mode:

Therefore, the conclusion is either some CSS theme element here that is hiding those parts or we need to upgrade to a more recent version of Discourse.

There was a bug report over at Meta that fixed this but that was a while back.

Sit tight while I ping @aaronprisk to see if it is a theme element.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hello @rubi1200. I’m pinging you to find out if there has been any progress on this bug?

It’s still quite a frustration to have to keep switching between full-screen and normal mode, especially when trying to create a post full of technical information.

@aaronprisk Do you have time to look into this?

Thanks
