[Bug] Simple search suggestions box appears over Wikidata suggestions if search box is selected early
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If the user quickly clicks on the search box while some stuff is still loading/running, the "normal" search suggestions box (that is, the suggestions box that appears on other wikis) will appear over the special Wikidata search suggestions box as the user is typing. In most situations, the box will have just the "containing..." bit, unless the user inputs "Q" or some such. The Wikidata suggestions box has a z-index of 1, lower than the normal box which has a z-index of 1099, so the top suggestions are covered.

This makes the first and most important search result inaccessible.

I run into this almost every time. The stable load point is somewhere around 2 seconds after the page has finished loading.

I don't see how it can be considered uncommon or low priority to start searching within 2 seconds of page load. I can only imagine that searching something on Wikidata is the most common user intent from readers viewing the wikidata.org main page.

Just as annoying as the "Data updated 45 seconds ago" overlay when trying to get to the download link on WQS.

@Esc3300, please make sure there is a ticket for this overlay problem. Please create one if you can't fine one.

Wait, why was this reset to "low"?
