The discussion addresses a bug where quote buttons in topic chat are obscured by the composer when in fullscreen mode, reported by Anton_Akhmerov. After sam requested screenshots to visualize the issue, Anton_Akhmerov provided visual evidence and a workaround involving switching out of fullscreen. sam noted the need for additional margins when the composer is minimized and expressed interest in restoring draft functionality during chat. The issue was resolved in commit a51ad87, with a fix scheduled for the November 21, 2025 update as confirmed by tynaut.
I tested the UI problem below in the Foundation theme, but it likely appears in Horizon as well.
To reproduce:
Open the composer
Switch to full screen chat.
Use the select UI to quote messages in a topic.
Observe that the buttons for quoting in topic are covered by the composer.
Desired
It should be possible to quote in topic with the editor open. This is important because that’s the easiest way to quote chat messages in response to an existing discussion.
Thanks, one of our designers will have a look. We really need a tiny more margin when composer is minimized (it even just stops us now from chatting)
One additional improvement we made recently is making it super easy to just dismiss a draft and get back to it. The X closes it and then you can reach the draft from your drafts.
That said, I find it compelling to have a draft going while I am chatting so I would love to restore this functionality on both horizon and foundation.
Hello @Anton_Akhmerov, there is a fix as of 2025-11-21T23:00:00Z.
When your Discourse version is next updated, this change [a51ad87] will be in place, resolving the issues of the expanded/collapsed composer overlapping with the full screen chat and buttons.
Please let us know if you still experience any issues after this update, and thank you for your report!
