Composer falls off the edge of the screen on Meta

AI-generated summary

Users are reporting a bug where the composer toolbar and related UI elements spill off the edge of the screen in the side-view (“composer peek”) mode on Meta. noahl first reported the issue, noting that even the “Your topic is similar to” suggestions are cut off, and confirmed it persists regardless of the new composer setting. putty asked if disabling the new composer resolves it, but noahl confirmed it does not — the entire drawer is misaligned. sam suspects it’s tied to full-width experiments and has alerted the member experience team. chapoi clarified that the side-view composer is an experimental feature (not a user setting) and linked to a pending fix in the composer-peek repository: https://github.com/discourse/composer-peek/pull/15. The issue appears to be a layout miscalculation between components, causing overflow beyond the viewport.

Hey!

Can’t seem to find an existing topic around it. I don’t believe it’s related to the new composer experiment.

The toolbar options are falling off the edge of the screen and can’t be accessed. This is in the side view :slight_smile: (Not sure what it’s called exactly)

I think it’s related to this, but the “Your topic is similar too” is also tight and spilling off the edge of the screen

Sidenote: this view of the composer fitting to the side of the topic is really nice - is this a setting that can be enabled?

Does this fix itself when you turn off the new composer?

Nope, it’s like the whole drawer is off the edge of the screen - I can’t see or access the chevrons that should be in the top right.

Ahhh nice! Yeah - something between the 2 is broken and causing it to spill slightly outside the browser.

Thanks for the links!

I suspect this is related to some experiments we we have going related to full width, pinged the member experience team who can fill us in.

It’s an experimental component, not a setting (yet!)

Should be fixed by

Thanks for the report!
