1495230 - The wiki's header bar hides the destination of an anchor link

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Wiki pages, enhancement, P1)

Description

["FeRD" (Frank Dana)]

What did you do?
================
1. Visit a wiki page with links to section headers on the wiki, e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Contribute/Howto/Tag#Tagging_problems_you_can_fix
2. Click the "topic" link in the body of the first item ("No tags"), which links to the "Topic" section farther up the page

What happened?
==============
The page scrolled so that the section header ("Topic") was at the very top of the window, BEHIND the page header bar at the top of the canvas

What should have happened?
==========================
The section heading "Topic" should have been visible after the link was followed.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
This can even be seen by clicking on a section heading's _own_ anchor-link directly beside the heading itself. Go to any section heading in the middle of any wiki page, click on its "link" icon, and the page will reposition itself so that the link you just clicked is now hiding behind the site header bar.

I think this is the same issue as bug 1495230, but has clearer reproduction steps with the current features. This reproduces for me at 1720px width, I didn't try other resolutions.

Thanks, John. 

Wrong ref, perhaps? I can say with absolute certainty that this IS the same bug as 1495230. ;-)
