I'm looking on beta and—though the list of abbreviations and the community links (on RC) no longer open
then close—there is still a lot of movement on the page. This spoils the perception of stability and speed we're aiming for. Here's what I see when I reload the pages on beta as of 9/29:
On RC page, with Abbreviations and Review Links boxes closed
- Search results and list of abbreviations. These jump down about a quarter of an inch, then jump up again.
- List of abbreviations: During load, the word "expand" disappears, causing the element to shrink in width, then the word reappears, causing the element to get wider again.
- 'Other review tools' link: This blinks away then blinks back into view. - fixed
The color of the link changes during the page reload - it's black when the page is loading; then, it's blue when the page finishes loading.[ @Etonkovidova I don't see this. Do you still see it?]
On RC page, with with Abbreviations and Review Links boxes open
- 'Other review tools' box: The outline of the box disappears and the box contents shift left about 1/8th of an inch, then right again.
- Search results and list of abbreviations.These shift up about 1/4 of an inch and then back down.
- List of abbreviations box: The "[hide] link disappears then reappears (as described above).
On Watchlist, with Abbreviations box open
- Search results: Jump up about a half inch and then back down. (What appears to be causing this is that when the Edit Your Watched Pages button at top disappears, the text at top re-wraps, then rewraps again when the button comes back.)
- List of abbreviations box: .The "[collapse] link disappears then reappears (as described above).
On Watchlist, with Abbreviations box closed
- Search results: same as above-up and down 1/2 inch.
- List of abbreviations: During load, the word "expand" disappears, causing the element to shrink in width, then the word reappears, causing the element to get wider again. (It also jumps up and down, as above.)
@Etonkovidova, I don't see the issue of the box getting narrower then wider as being fixed on either production or beta.
