Description James Forrester 2012-12-21 22:39:49 UTC
From user report (but I've had this myself):

| HotCat is a popular gadget and any conflict with it should be avoided. For
| example, use VisualEditor on [[User:This, that and the other/sandbox/Schfoof]]
| with HotCat enabled. The HotCat bar appears in the wrong place. (It probably
| shouldn't appear at all.)
|
| …
|
| The conflict now appears to be fixed... very strange.

Given that it appears and also doesn't appear between refreshes - i.e., on the same page with the same version of the VE and HC code bases in the same accounts in the same browsers - I'm assuming it's some sort of race-condition, but I'm not sure.

Is this related?

That's unrelated to VisualEditor; enwiki's community switched off HotCat as a default gadget, so people who want to keep using it will need to manually switch it back on.

I don't think that's related at all. Gadget CSS is expected in the iframe. It should be in the <head> instead of the <body> but that's a separate issue (bug 56630).

I can't reproduce this issue... If anyone still sees this, please reopen.
