1. Trigger a notification 2. Click on the notification to dismiss it 3. The notification area (<div id="mw-notification-area">) is now empty, but still obscures a narrow strip in the top right corner: > $('#mw-notification-area').outerHeight() 12 > $('#mw-notification-area').outerWidth() 269 > $('#mw-notification-area').position() Object {top: 89.59375, left: 1251.203125} > $('#mw-notification-area').css('z-index') "10000" This is a problem because the div steals events and mouse interaction from the UI elements below it. For instance, in VisualEditor: 1. Open a page in VE 2. Type '[['. The wikitext warning appears 3. Click the warning to dismiss it 4. Reveal #mw-notification-area in the inspector and observe how it's on top of part of the save button 5. Very carefully move the mouse over the save button, and you'll notice a small (12px tall) area where mouse pointer is a normal pointer instead of a hand. Clicking in this area does not press the save button.
All you VE guys really should start looking through bugs that are already reported instead of adding more copies. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 52659 ***
