So I have seen this for awhile and had not mentioned something before partially because its not a game stopper and so many things are going on with piefed dev I hated to bother. I kinda expected other people would be seeing it and it would likely get attention and maybe it has but I just have not seen it. Anyway I attached a screenshot showing how the dropdown menus get obscured by the site and its not just obscured because the site under the dropdown seems to have interaction priority. The funny thing is when I click on images and get the larger version like sometimes something like this happens and at other times the pop up image will correctly be in front of everything. Im not sure if its the type of image or what but the effect does not always happen with pop up image. It basically always happens with the drop downs though. I changed to default theme and some other themes and this issue consistantly happens.
Long standing visual bug with layers.

That's not cool and should not be happening. I have never seen anything like that.
What is your browser software and version?

Yep I have recent Firefox on Linux too.
Do you have any unusual browser extensions?
HubertManne@piefed.social · 4 pts · 252d
eyup. turned off all my extensions which are not problematic to stop and it looks better. feel a bit foolish. will enable them one at a time and get back to you on the extension that caused it. no wonder no ones every mentioned it.

I bet it's textise this or printfriendly.
HubertManne@piefed.social · 3 pts · 252d
not sure. having turned them all back on one at a time it did not come back. I sorta did it in order of importance so textise this was second to last before camelizer.

It looks like one of the extensions is enabling a darkmode. The default background in PieFed is gray, which is changed to black. I've seen similar behavior with DarkReader enabled other sites.

Oh yes, good point, the screenshot is too dark:

This actually has been happening for me since I started piefed so should be various versions of firefox as I know I have upgraded it at least half a dozen times. I have no script (both things listed are allowed. piefed.social and cloudflareinsights), bitwarden, authenticator, printfriendly, tab session manager, foxytab, open link with new tab, power tabs, privacy badger, redirctor, terms of service didn't read, textise this, and camelizer. Sorry I had not thought to goof around with browser. it looks fine unlogged in in chrom and edge. ill try disabling addons and see if anything helps.

Are you using noscript? If you are, then things won't render properly if you don't allow the JavaScript. I'm asking because it seems you have the noscript symbol showing in the screen shot and I've seen the same thing a hundred times when I haven't whitelisted a lemmy, PieFed, mastodon, etc. JavaScript.

I was allowing everything. Definately one of my add ons but so far not sure which one. enabling and disabling them all caused it to go away.
