When I am trying to post a new question, the pop ups are becoming unreadable as the top bar is hiding what they are saying on the top, hence breaking user interface. Here are a couple of screenshots highlighting the problem:
or look at this picture:
In both the pictures, it is invisible what the box was saying on the top.

The problem was reported a while ago here

> I am constantly struggling with the “Your topic is similar to…” popup which on my screen disappears off the top of the window, behind the header. See the screenshot below. While I appreciate the helper text, it interferes with my browsing of the site while writing and has me fiddling with text size or making the composer window smaller until the X shows up so I can close it! My request is to move the X button down to the bottom right corner of the blue popup so that I can quickly dismiss it.

> See screenshot: Unless this is a “by design” issue, one fix might be to set the z-order value to something much lower than a 1000 on the .d-header style rule. Cheers, Kirupa
