Today the layout of the annotations part of Identify has changed (for me at least). What used to fit on one line is now taking two:

I can’t remember exactly how it looked before, but not like this! Is the “x” to delete a mistake new? I’m pretty sure I used to click on my own icon to cancel my annotation before, but now that takes me to my profile instead. The position of the “x” seems to be a bit random, being hidden behind other text most of the time.

I observe the same since last night, and also the ‘agree’ button on the identification tab is similarly displaced.

If you could note which browser you’re using, and whether you’re on mobile or not, that would be helpful. I’m not seeing this in Firefox on my MacBook.

Thanks, I didn’t notice that Identify was specified in the original post. I can replicate. I’ve turned this into a bug report and will make an issue.

Thanks, I didn’t initially post it as a bug report as I wasn’t sure if it was a bug or not.
