@fylzero there are extensions which allow you to override CSS on every site. Look them up.

Laracasts: Please remove the new scroll feature
@JeffreyWay this new feature gets a big dislike from me. No offense meant by the small criticism.
Issues and concerns:
-
Having sub-sectional scrolling makes the browser feel wonky when your mouse is over certain sections. It feels like the page gets stuck when this happens.
-
Feels super wonky on mobile.
-
I find it more difficult to scan longer code content this way. Scrolling, as opposed to moving your eyes, makes you lose your place easily imo.
-
On Mac, the scroll bar is hidden and it is sometimes difficult now to tell when content continues or is outright cut-off.
Suggested solutions:
Please consider ditching this CSS code (which is likely half-cut-off due to this new enhancement).
#root .user-content, .code-fragment-wrap {
max-height: 250px;
overflow: auto;
}
Or at least give the option to toggle it off as a sticky setting?

@bugsysha Yeah, that's not the answer here. There should be a fallback setting for this and I have made a very reasonable number of arguments why this should either be removed or, at least, fallen back. Suggesting to download an extension to resolve a usability gripe with a site is kind of absurd. Especially one that, I'm sure, prides itself on being at the forefront of usability.

I feel the same. Its an unwarranted change, and im not sure who its for? Really horrible on mobile.
I'd rather other things were looked into like not being able to see dates when posts are published on mobile, leading people to reply to years old threads.

Agreed.. it's not ideal, especially on a large screen.. just feels rather broken.

An actual styling issue that needs resolution is that the post, cancel & markdown toggle buttons disappear off the bottom of the screen when markdown preview is toggled on in certain occasions. Like my previous post with the image. Opening browser inspector repositioned it, but before opening the inspector I couldn't turn the preview back off, cancel nor post. :)

I've come up with a more comfortable user experience on the ipad.
Cut a small rectangular hole in a piece of paper, hold it over the ipad and move it around the screen until you get a general idea of the question. Then fold up the bottom inch and type the answer from what you can remember.

Guys, clearly it was an unintended change. Fixed earlier this morning.
