Admin Forum:Monobook tabs seriously dislocated after 1.19 upgrade

Since the 1.19 upgrade, Monobook display has been seriously compromised. Take a look at this screenshot: You'll note that the background for the article proper has been shifted upward such tht it extends all the way to the control panel. The tabs stay where they were before, but are still z-indexed above the article text, which means that most leads are wholly obscured.

So is this a bug, or is it something we now have to find a workaround for? (For what it's worth, this behaviour exists in the latest versions of Safari, Opera, Firefox and Chrome)  07:45: Wed 15 Aug 2012


 * Your wiki likely has custom CSS that pushes the tabs down. You can push the content down through CSS as well. In your MediaWiki:Monobook.css, you can add a  under  . You will also need to change   to   instead (making it more specific, else it'll be overridden). - Tjcool007 (Talk) 09:39, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, yah, my wiki has custom CSS — you can see that just by looking at the picture provided. My point was that this is definitely an effect of the 1.19 upgrade.  Last week Monobook was workin' fine on my wiki; this week it's not.  What I want to know is whether it is a bug Wikia haven't yet dealt with or something I should try to work around locally?   14:25: Wed 15 Aug 2012


 * It's caused by CSS that adds 160px padding to #p-cactions loaded from w:c:tardis:Monobook.css
 * Remove #p-cactions from that declaration and it should look as intended (but only for wide(r) screens - someone should look into that and add a little more padding to the top area - more buttons = overlap). Rappy 14:47, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Personally, I would fix the #content CSS over to div#content (required now for 1.19) and add  to it. That pushes the top down enough to fit the tabs for smaller screens and fixes the colored background for the content area. Rappy 14:52, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. So just to be crystal clear, this change from #content to div#content is what Wikia considers intended behaviour and is not a bug that will get fixed in a later weekly update?  That is, it's a MediaWiki change, not a Wikia change?   15:41: Wed 15 Aug 2012
 * Also the site design really depends upon the content box being level with the top of the search box. Is there any way I can get that top space back?  I desperately need to lower the top of the content box by 160px.  16:06: Wed 15 Aug 2012
