New post select from Photo Album not working properly.

[kf4eok]

When I click on the camera icon in the top left of the editor I get the choice to upload or Select from Photo Album. The upload button works as you would expect. When I click the Select from Photo Album button it flashes a box really quick then nothing and the page turns light grey and I have to refresh the page. I tried this in FF and chrome with the same results. I am running 5.1.9
I now know what is happening, the dialog box is opening up but it is hidden on the top of the page and if you scroll up you can see it. Most people would not know to scroll up. If the page is small or short with no scrolling needed it works OK.

Is this a bug in vb5.1.9 or something that I could fix on my end?
I tested with the default vb style also with the same results.
I also now see that clicking Select from Photo Album here on this site will give you the same results. The pop up dialog box should be in plain site just as when you click the upload button.

Do you have photo albums created? You would have to visit the media tab on your profile to create new albums.

I was able to reproduce the above mentioned issue here in this forum. Clicking the Select from Photo Album flashes the dialog box and moves up out of sight. You have to scroll up to see the dialog box. The issue is not obvious if the topic is not long enough to have below the fold content.

Thank you for confirming this for me. I am like you it is obvious when this can be replicated on this forum and on this very page we are currently on.

I did not say that it did not work. Clicking the Select from Photo Album flashes the dialog box and moves up out of sight. You have to scroll up to see the dialog box. The issue is not obvious if the topic is not long enough to have below the fold content. If you do not know to scroll up the page, which most users would not know to do, users think that the page has frozen and leave.

Is this a bug that needs to be reported?

A JIRA needs to be created for this so it can be looked at.

Workaround solution via custom CSS while waiting for actual fix.

body { position: relative; }
.js-photo-selector-wrapper {
    bottom: 200px !important; /* adjust as necessary */
    top: auto !important;
}

Thanks Glenn for this code. I will use this until the fix comes out.
