Description

When clicking the "Insert Link" button, whether from the top toolbar of the editor or the inline toolbar that appears upon text selection, the URL input box shows up at an incorrect position. It does not appear near the selected text or in relation to the toolbar button clicked.

This positioning issue occurs both when the editor is at the top of the page and after scrolling down. The URL input box may appear detached from the selection area, floating in unrelated areas such as further up the page, making it hard to use.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Using the top toolbar:

    • Open the task description editor.
    • Select some text.
    • Click the “Link” button in the top toolbar.
    • Observe that the URL input box appears in an incorrect position.
  2. Using the inline toolbar:

    • Select some text in the editor.
    • Wait for the inline toolbar to appear.
    • Click the “Link” button on the inline toolbar.
    • The URL input box again appears improperly positioned, similarly detached from the relevant text or toolbar.

This occurs regardless of whether the page is scrolled or not.

Expected behavior:
The URL input box should appear close to either the text selection or the toolbar button clicked, maintaining correct positioning regardless of scrolling.

Actual behavior:
The URL input box floats away from the selected text and toolbar, often appearing near the top or elsewhere on the page, causing a confusing and inconvenient user experience.

Does this only happen when you scroll?
