https://forum.flowster.app/ We just noticed this today. When you click “New Topic” the popup is hidden underneath our header: [Selection_879] Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

The latest version of Discourse seems to have fixed this :slight_smile:

Is this affecting all users on your site? If not, the problem could be that Discourse remembers the height that you last set the composer to on a device.

Thanks Simon! That temporarily fixes it, but when I close Chrome DevTools the problem reoccurs. How can I fix it permanently? Also if this happens to a random user, who isn’t tech-savvy, they’re not going to be able to fix it … is there a better, more user-friendly solution? We also just noticed f…

My online version d0390fba3e has same issue when using Chrome zoom in/out. But the meta forum is fine to me, so I think is the last recent updated cause it? And the last version e0d2b403a4 on my development environment seem already fixed.
