Question

"Leave a reply" at the bottom of thread appears/disappears as the thread is scrolled

The “leave a reply” thing (clicking into which the editor appears) at the bottom of a thread appears/disappears as the thread is scrolled.

This then leads to page “jumping” as it’s scrolled, as its size changes and things get recalculated on the fly.

More importantly, the “appear” logic is wrong and when the page is resized to smaller size, that “thing” never appears.

This - as all the other visual smog added for “modernity” - is entirely unnecessary and confusing. Just leave it there unconditionally.
