Gutenberg: Inserter malfunctions on mobile

Created on 20 Jul 2017  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: WordPress/gutenberg

Issue Overview

When opening the inserter on screens smaller than 782pixels it works in mysterious ways.

When pressing the button (+) in the top bar, the inserter is displayed on top of the bar.
Making it unusable because scrolling up is not available.

When pressing the (+) button in the blocks content, the modal is placed off-screen on the left. The buttons on the bottom are placed below the window, having to scroll to reach them.

This doesn't make it any less of an issue, but there are a lot of issues with the mobile experience - it's not there yet. I am going to label this for mobile, but there needs to be a general focus and fix for all of the mobile experience, this is just one part of that.

The first of the two issues described here is fixed as of #1204

Closing as the main issue is fixed. There's ongoing work in further improving the inserter design.
