Status messages modal is too big

Open on Drupal.org →

Problem/Motivation

I created a subtheme with the starterkit. I am working with layouts and every time I make a change that requires attention, a status message pops up which is too big and I can't see what I'm doing, thus, I have to close it every time. I am attaching a screenshot.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable Layout Builder
  2. Either edit the content type or edit nodes of that content type individually.
  3. Make any change, add a section, delete a section, add a block, delete a block etc.
  4. Observe.

Proposed resolution

Remove the property position: fixed; and the redundant 

  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  max-height: 75vh;
  z-index: 9999;

from alert.css

    I have also reproduced this issue on my screen, and yes, there was a big alert coming. After applying the patch, the problem is resolved. I am attaching both the screenshots before and after for reference.

    This isn’t really a bug since the fixed-position .alert-wrapper is intentional — by design it ensures messages are always visible.

    The patch does achieve the desired effect, but since it changes the current behavior for people who may like them the way they are, it probably belongs as a feature request.

    A possible resolution would be to allow configuring the default alert positioning (e.g., absolute, fixed, etc.) through a theme setting, so site builders can choose the behavior without needing to patch or override templates.

    I am closing, this as works as designed, but feel free to re-open it as a feature request.
