Issue on JA Simpli on J!4 when doing FE article edit & editors-xtd buttons

sailbod

Joomla - 4.3.4
JA Simpli - 2.0.3
PHP - 8.1.22

When editing an article in the front end and using several of the editor-xtd buttons the formatting of the modal dialog is not handled well compared with other templates including the default Cassiopeia template.
The editor in use is JCE editor and several of the buttons, some as standard and some as 3rd party plugins suffer the issue.

Examples are:

Module (std Joomla), Contact (std Joomla), Menu (std Joomla), Fields (std Joomla) -
On all these the filters to reduce the list to select from are meant to be hidden until needed. They are always shown. Also less than half the dialog frame is used.
Media (std Joomla), Does not format well.
Universal Plugin (3rd party plugin). Scrollbar within a scrollbar - not too bad
jDownloads (3rd party plugin) - The filters to select categories etc are meant to be hidden until needed, they always show and the formatting of the form is not great. Also only half of the dialog is used.
ArticlesAnywhere (3rd party plugin).

From what I remember, these modal dialogs looked ok in Joomla 3 using JA Simplii.

sailbod Hi

You can try this:

.modal-body iframe {
    height: 100%; 
}

Hi Saguaros, many thanks, I added that to custom.css and that allows the editor-xtd modal dialog to use the whole frame and is a lot better.
I still have the problem that the js search filters always appear. I tried adding more custom.css for classes "js-stools-container-filters" and "js-stools-container-filters-visible" to switch the display property but the custom.css does not seem to get used.

Not sure what it's, could you share the URL of this page and super admin account so I can take a look?

Hi Saguaros, I could setup a test system and give superadmin credentials, but I think this issue occurs on any site using ja simpli template as the default template. To see the issue I am raising, if you:

Setup front end article editing
Use JCE as the editor (although I think this happens with all editors)
Edit an article in the front end
Click on "Module" editors-xtd button and look at the layout in the modal dialog (Take a snapshot)
Then cancel the editing and switch the sites default template to Cassiopeia and repeat

I have uploaded two screenshots of the above.
In JA Simpli, all the select filters appear and the filter options button does not do anything:

In Casseopeia, the modal intitially has the fiter options hidden

and after clicking filter options they appear in a neater format than ja simpli

sailbod Hi

The options for filter are there but not look nice, I will share with team to update this edit layout for template.
