The Share button in tutorial detail modals was pushed below the viewport on iPad portrait and other narrow viewports when tutorial descriptions were long (approximately 3x normal length).

Root Cause

Long tutorial descriptions expanded the modal container, pushing the Share and YouTube buttons below the visible area on mobile and tablet devices.

Solution

Added a scrollable description container to limit description height while keeping buttons visible:

Files Changed:

  • /webapp/src/projects.tsx - Wrapped description paragraphs in a .description-container div
  • /theme/home.less - Added styles for .description-container
.description-container {
    max-height: 8rem;
    overflow-y: auto;
    margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
}

Impact:

  • Tutorial descriptions are scrollable when they exceed 128px (8rem) in height
  • Share and YouTube buttons remain visible and accessible at all viewport sizes
  • Desktop layout unchanged - no impact on wide screen displays

Testing

  • ✅ Code review passed
  • ✅ Security checks passed
  • ✅ Manual verification with long descriptions shows buttons remain visible

Fixed in 39b1401. Added a scrollable description container with max-height: 8rem and overflow-y: auto. Long descriptions now scroll while keeping the Share and YouTube buttons visible and accessible.
