Messy highlight bar UI when navigating by keyboard

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around the Messy highlight bar UI when navigating by keyboard. downey reported two concerns with keyboard navigation in Firefox on Fedora 22: a weird blue line above the post and a lack of whitespace around the highlight bar. TechnoBear identified the blue line as an oddly-placed cursor, possibly related to a known issue in Firefox. cpradio mentioned that the issue doesn’t occur in Chrome, and TechnoBear confirmed that it’s specific to Firefox. The conversation briefly went off-topic, with cpradio explaining that Firefox is blocked at their workplace due to SSL verification issues.

When navigating by keyboard between posts in a topic, two concerns:

  1. There’s this weird blue line above the post as shown above.
  2. Some white space around the highlight bar would be nice. :smile:

IIRC there was something similar with keyboard navigating the composer.
I don’t know if that was ever resolved but @TechnoBear probably will.

Oh, and IIRC it’s browser specific. Have you tried testing with different browsers?

It’s an oddly-placed cursor.

What browser? As it doesn’t do that in Chrome.

Firefox, I expect. All the instances of this I’ve reported/encountered so far have been Firefox.

The one browser that doesn’t work at my work place… go figure!

I’d get a new job…

Off Topic:

I like my job. It seems to be a they are blocking how Firefox verifies SSL, which in turns prevents me from being able to use for sites like Meta. I’ve just learned to live with it (I don’t really like Firefox anyway)

Sorry. Firefox (latest) on Fedora 22.
