The Notifications switch and Reference link are sometimes invisible, below the foot of the scroll bar-less sidebar

Summary

After not using GitLab for a while, I could not find the option to notify.

Steps

  1. View e.g. #20166 (closed) in Firefox or Waterfox Classic

Current bug behaviour

  1. the Notifications switch is invisible

Expected correct behaviour

Wherever content is too tall for a given area:

  • a vertical scroll bar.

Workaround

  1. zoom out
  2. zoom out again
  3. discover the Reference feature below the Notifications switch.

Thoughts

Does this bug occur only where a relatively large number of labels apply?

Where there are many labels, it becomes necessary to zoom out three times or more. This is true for #13638 (closed) where reduction to 80% is not enough, even with Firefox in full screen mode (HP EliteBook 8570p):

– 67% brings things into view but then, texts are uncomfortably small and there are wastes of space (the white columns):

After escaping from full screen, 67% is not enough:

– down to 50% brings the References link into view, but texts are barely legible (YMMV):

I vaguely recall finding this bug, or something like it, long ago. Maybe years. Can't find a matching bug today amongst open or closed issues, if this is a duplicate: apologies.
