Link for "group" is misaligned

[roxannedebeaux]

In Firefox on a Mac.

The link for "Group" is now under the search box. Often this gets clicked instead of the search field so this is very annoying.

Note this is happens when a user is a Committee member and thus has 'Membership' added to the menu.

Is this still happening? I can't recreate this in Firefox or Chrome on Linux.

[mvl22]

If you are a committee member and/or an admin, this happens. If you give yourself as many permissions as possible you should see the problem of things not fitting in the menu.

I see this in Chrome on Windows and Mac.

@nikolai-b Turns out this one is considered a major issue by some heavy users. Could you prioritise this one?

I guess we might need to respace the menu or something - hopefully you can come with something sensible.

This problem is actually worse now. The search box cannot be used as the group name link is sitting on top of it.

Note this has made a huge bottleneck for me today as I can't search for the threads I need to access in order to progress other urgent work.

[mvl22]

As a (ropey) workaround in the meanwhile, you can use tab to progress to the searchbox on the page, and then type in the search term and press return to submit.

I'm confused. On subdomains I don't see the group. Could you include the full URL?

Also I'm able to close the group selector, is this not possible?

If the change I made doesn't help then I will revert it.

See this screenshot - I've done select-all with the keyboard to highlight the text more clearly. Note the overlay over the search box.

[roxannedebeaux]

So the overlay on the search box is worse when the page has been scrolled down. At the top, it looks like the picture from Martin. Scrolled, the overlay is worse and the box cannot be clicked in (This is something that only started to happen recently). The only way to get out of this is to then refresh the page. Even being able to click on blank screen space to remove the menu would be a step forward. It is even more difficult on a mobile phone as it is very hard to 'click' on the search box without activating the menu which you can only get rid of by refreshing the page. This is something I easily end up having to do 10 + times a day. Really frustrating especially considering how slow Cyclescape is to load. This has been going on for over a year so I do hope it can be resolved.

@mvl22 and @roxannedebeaux I think part of the problem is that I'm not seeing that on my browser.

A simple solution could be to move the search box to the left, would you be happy with this?

At top of page	Further down the page

Also I can add a 0.5 second timeout on the group dropdown so it is only there on hover.

[mvl22]

If you add the Membership menu entry, that will pretty-much guarantee you experience the problem.

I'm not keen on search being moved. It's in a very standard position, and it's very odd to have it on the left.

If you change

#main-nav nav ul#navigation li a padding from 20px to 15px, that will fix it (except for sysadmins who get the Admin tab, but we can live with that).

I think all the changes in 9a54ae9 can then be discarded.

[nikolai-b]

I don't experience any problem (I've selected all to show that the search isn't covered):

Github has the search on the left, the advantage is that the group selector doesn't interfere with the search at all that way. We could move the group selector to the left instead?

[nikolai-b]

Ah, sorry this is when your on a subdomain only! I see now. I'll fix it.

Thanks; that should do for now until the fuller redesign is sorted out.
