1. Go to [[World War II]] and edit in VE 2. Scroll down to the Background section, and click on the infobox in order to select it No puzzle-piece floating icon can be seen; you have to scroll up to the top of the template to see it. This floating icon should always be visible on-screen. (By the way, VE takes up to 4 seconds to "highlight" the infobox in response to the click; separate bug?)

Note though that the problem can occur both horizontal as well as vertical. Take for instance any template that produces a div, but of which the contents are not 100% wide. Examples of this are any div that is not cleared of a floating object. The editor indicator is positioned all the way to the right of the div, which extends on top of the floating object. However the contents of the div are pushed aside by the floating object. You expect to find the template editor indicator at the right side of your contents, but you will find it superimposed on top of the infobox. Similar for FA icons which are 10px wide in a div (and mispositioned due to their relative positioning which is currently not compatible with the editor). The Editor will be all the way to the right (think 27" display) whereas the actual visual content that you want to edit is all the way to the left in your screen. (This is aggravated by the fact that VE duplicates the DOM, and thus causes duplicate id's, which are ignored by the style selectors in WebKit). This has some interesting consequences for all JS code btw. Even with hooks most of the scripts will break on this I presume.

Above patch didn't impact this; un-marking as having a PATCH.
