An issue that’s popped up very recently: When a post is a reply to another, and the “Load parent post” curly arrow is present, clicking on it loads the referenced post in a box that extends too far to the right. This happens with the Straight Dope Light and Straight Dope Dark themes, but didn’t seem to be happening with a couple of other themes I tried. ---

I’m replying to myself to see if I can get that arrow to show up, so people can see what I mean. ETA: Nope, I think replying to the post immediately above doesn’t work. ---

Quoting the post gives a different “expand/collapse” icon, which doesn’t have the same problem. Let’s see if I’ve gotten the right icon this time. ETA: Nope, maybe because I’m replying to myself? (I would erase these tries if I could…) ---

You can see the link I mean on this randomly chosen post: > [@Musical Notation: How Do I Make Superscript, Flats and Sharps (symbols) In Discourse?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/musical-notation-how-do-i-make-superscript-flats-and-sharps-symbols-in-discourse/979075/15): > > If you hit reply, then the “quote whole post” button, it includes the formatting codes. At the top there’s a link back to e\_c\_g’s post that it’s responding to. If I click on that icon, the box it opens extends significantly further too the right than it should. Again, this is using the Straight Dope Light or Dark themes. ---

Oh, I see what you’re saying now. Let me make one in this thread, by NOT quoting you from a post that’s one back. When I click that button by your name, it does indeed scoot out too far. to the right, moving the scroll bar over. Like this: [![](https://i.imgur.com/9P3OZHR.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/9P3OZHR.png) ---
