Any else get a big white box on their screen when starting a new OP? [View all]

When starting a discussion, I have a large white box with a drop shadow covering about half of my screen real estate. It runs off the bottom of the screen. I have to zoom out (Ctrl -) in order to see what I'm typing. So now I'm typing in a ridiculously small box with a ridiculously small font to the left of the big white one.

At the top of the box is show the navigation: Latest Discussion >> Help Forums>> Community Help >> Start a new discussion

This is showing up while starting a new discussion in every forum EXCEPT Latest Breaking News.

Preview is working like normal.

I'm using Firefox with no popup blocker BTW.

If I magnify the page to 140%, it goes away. n/t demmiblue Oct 2023 #7
