Reported here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-cards-should-be-shown-in-front-…of-reaction-lists/412927 The style added a couple of years ago in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/issues/27491 is no longer needed, user cards open above the composer without it. Removing this style fixes the reported issue with opening a card from within a reactions list.
