At [Group mentions and messages](https://meta.discourse.org/t/group-mentions-and-messages/36228/4), @sam gives the impression the warning is small, directly above the mention in progress. In actual fact it’s a huge, mostly empty box that covers the whole preview, just like the “similar to” warning. I suggest it be changed to look more like Sam’s mockup.

Sam’s mockup:

IIRC the problem with it the way “education” was had to do with _many_ not being able to close it.

Fine the way it is for now.
