Description

When you edit in desktop the source code of a page in Wikipedia, you can see the preview of your edits on the right. When you hover your mouse inside the preview frame, a "Reload" button appears at the top right.

The position of this "Reload" button is a problem when editing navigational boxes, because it appears above the [show/hide] dropdown button of the box, hiding it and preventing it from being clicked. This makes the edit of collapsed navigational boxes a nightmare, as you need to be adept with the scroll bar to accurately scroll the page down so that the [show] dropdown button peeks out from behind the "Reload" button, between the latter and the top of the frame, so that you can click on it to be able to unfold the box to see your changes.
