[FIXED] Rate control with 5 star, some regression: hard to select a star for voting

With this control, we presently experience some regression of its quality, couple last days or so.
In the past, one could easily click on it: moving the mouse pointer into the bounding rectangle of the star showed index-finger icon, and the click worked.
Not right now. Now it happens only if the mouse pointer is positioned one the top ray of the 5-rayed star. At first, it creates the impression that the voting is disabled…

Thank you, Chris.

Are you considering the problem with comment edition I submitted below? The behavior has changed, but still is not quite right; I recently updated my report:

Links in article moderation queue go to published version

The links in the article moderation queue go to the published version, not to the version that needs moderation, because the href attribute of the link is set to the published version, for example:

HTML

<a id="ctl00_MC_PendingArticles_AARA_ctl01_T" href="/Articles/766232/A-C-ATM-Console-App">A C ATM Console App</a>

And it looks like articles with Composing status show up (although I only see one, which seems like a very low number). I figure there is no need to provide a link.

Articles update and file upload

I observed following bugs during article updates:

1. On article update, while update is pending, that was possible to delete currently attached files( when newly uploaded was not posted yet ).

2. Even if file was removed - previously posted article version, had a link to the file, when that was impossible to download file.

3. Uploading of the new file, with a similar prefix in the name ( has to be verified, I have not enough statistics ) was unsuccessful - even when article was approved, I couldn't download the file.

4. In spite of "3" - I was able to browse code, using "Browse Code" tool.

QA upvoted answers - the stars are "chopped off"

Not a big important one, but it looks odd!

See these, and look at the "Vote stars".

Nit-picking: Header white-space

Richard Deeming29-Apr-14 3:54

Richard Deeming

29-Apr-14 3:54

Your access-link in the header is adding 19px of white-space to the top of the site, which wasn't there yesterday.

<a href="#Main"><img alt="Click here to Skip to main content" class="access-link" src="/Images/t.gif"></a>

There are easy ways to hide it from regular browsers whilst leaving it available to screen-readers. For example, Bootstrap uses:

CSS

.sr-only {
  position: absolute;
  width: 1px;
  height: 1px;
  padding: 0;
  margin: -1px;
  overflow: hidden;
  clip: rect(0, 0, 0, 0);
  border: 0;
}
