Using Firefox on Windows 10, the posts field sometimes scrolls up and superimposes over the banner field. I haven’t figured out a cause and effect, doesn’t happen all the time, still happens with extensions turned off.
That happens with many browsers, but it’s usually the result of poor page coding that doesn’t account for that possibility. And that’s pretty much the standard level of quality for web pages and browsers these days. According to Adam Smith the silent hand of the market has deemed it so.
Can you correct it by zooming in/out with Ctrl + mouse wheel?
I can trigger a lot of these weirdnesses, both on the SDMB and other sites, by fiddling with the zoom. It seems not everything in every webpage is coded to handle pinch/spread zooming. The overall page image grows, but not everything grows correctly relative to everything else. Overlaps probably occur because the size and location of something was calculated before you pinch/spread, and those now-wrong values are still used after you’ve pinched/spread.
The zoom settings in the browser’s menu are, in some cases, handled differently than pinch/spread.
Lastly, on some browsers on some devices ( but notably on phones) there’s a separate zoom setting for enlarging text. That one is a rich lode of “shit don’ work right no mo.” when set to a non-standard setting.
I don’t know that any if this is relevant to the OP’s specific issue. But they might choose to set these settings to the 100%/default settings and see if their problem changes or goes away entirely
I get that every so often. Mostly, it doesn’t really bother me much except that yeah, I’d rather see it work the way it’s supposed to. But sometimes when I click Reply, stuff gets overlaid on top of the text box, and that’s distracting or sometimes even dysfunctional. I’ve found that in Firefox on my Windows 10 laptop, reloading the page clears it up. (I use the app on my phone about half the time when I’m here and haven’t seen any problems there.)
