so this is a bit more buggy than i first realized - on safari iOS ipad in desktop view

logged in user view of locked topic:

anon user view - notice the text of at the bottom of the timeline scroller on the right? it’s overlapping on the reply button that shouldn’t really be there.

i’ve posted the reply button overlap as another bug because it happens in unlocked threads too
