Overlays Misplaced When Wrapping Discourse

Yeah, I’ve hit this when adding an extra large banner whilst developing a big plugin for a client. In my case the offset was completely ridiculous (it was off screen!)

There may be a simpler solution, but it turns out this is a little involved and requires you to override a function, e.g. for user card:

          api.modifyClass('component:user-card-contents',  {
            _positionCard(target) {

That comes from a mixin, located here: discourse/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/mixins/card-contents-base.js.es6 at b3eb67976dd0c0129736fe0b86167d7e512b51f4 · discourse/discourse · GitHub

I used jquery to determine whether or not to apply the modification depending on the visibility of the banner: on some pages I had the big ‘banner’, on others I did not. You could use a similar strategy.

tbh, your example doesn’t look that bad - I’d consider letting it be?
