You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Fix actions overlay covering up comments in RTL languages
When commenting on a shared file, the comments are being overlayed by the action buttons on hover,
so when hovering to resolve a comment you cant see if its the right comment.
this is only an is...
When clicking on a comment, I need to copy/paste certain words from the comment. However, when hovering over the comment to copy words on the right side, the row of 3 icons pops up and covers up the text I need to click on. Clicking in the area results in one of the icons being clicked instead. There is a very thin window of maybe 2 pixels underneath the row of icons where I could click on the text area instead, but that was not ideal. Recommend rearranging icons to not block the comment text.

Community ManagerHi everybody,
Could you check if this issue has been resolved on your end?
We've received word it's been fixed from our side.
I cleared the cookies and site data for Dropbox.com before testing this and signed in again. The buttons still show up on hover for me and cover part of the comments:

Firefox 131.0.3 (aarch64)
My icons now disappear if my cursor is not in the comment box, but when it is in there, the icons do still cover text. So, for languages read from right to left, I can imagine how this would be really annoying.

Hi everyone,
Apologies for the delay, and thank you for your patience.
I have can confirm that this issue has now been resolved.
If you need any further assistance, just let us know.
I signed into a private window and the Mark as Resolved, Mark as Unread, and Emoji icons are still showing up when hovering over a comment, making the text behind it unclickable and unable to copy. It shouldn't be a caching issue if I'm using a private window.
