[Mediawiki-l] MonoBook CSS issue

[Frederik Dohr]

Hello all,

I'm struggling with an odd CSS issue (MonoBook skin) that I can neither
understand nor solve (and neither could some CSS guys I've asked, as
they weren't familiar enough with MonoBook).

This CSS rule set (stripped of irrelevant color declarations*):
    .editsection {
        position: relative;
        top: 1em;
        padding: 0.1em 0.2em 0.1em 0.2em;
    }
leads to the following result:
    http://tinyurl.com/25esk3 (sorry for TinyURL, but the original URL
    was too long: http://www.onlinestuffs.com/pictureupload/bild14/od6mx

While I understand that relative positioning can create unexpected
results sometimes, the positioning here should simply be relative to the
respective heading's position!? So I don't see what could possibly cause
this inconsistency...

Does anyone happen to have an idea?


Thanks,

Frederik
