  • If the tag modal has an error, it blocks posting

… And it hides the post behind a blue-green screen.

So I wrote a long post asking for help, listing what I've tried, and listing some options I'm considering.

I tried to post, a modal tag editor popped up, I selected appropriate tags, I got an error saying the title can't exceed 80 characters, and … everything's hidden behind a blue-green screen. I might be able to remove the screen, copy my text to a text file, and then try again.

I understand that as long as discourse uses modals, the screens are useful to avoid the usual modal migraines. But when the modal closes, the screen should disappear.

    Ananiujitha I understand that as long as discourse uses modals, the screens are useful to avoid the usual modal migraines. But when the modal closes, the screen should disappear.

    This is Flarum, not Discourse

    Can't reproduce exactly. If I try and post a thread with a long title I do get prompted for a tag, but I select it and OK the prompt, which gives the error but no modal obstructions.

    Perhaps your setup is different from mine. List browser, OS, screen resolution, etc if you require further assistance.

    Firefox 112, with various anti-animation hacks.

    MacOS 10.14 with Reduce Motion.

    Can you provide screenshots of the issue?

      Slacor I just reproduced it

      Need the reduced motion property enabled and than open any Flarum model dialog (i.e, the prompt to add tags after attempting to post) and attempt to dismiss it.

      Ok, adjusted css animation/transition from none to 0.01s
      Seems to workaround this issue.
