What's Wrong?

When the user goes to click the "X" button on an image preview, the "X" button with the red background to close the window pops up over the image preview button, causing the user to accidentally close the window, instead of the image preview.

<img width="735" height="450" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2df9dbc5-0062-42aa-9527-44bc61a49535" />

What Should Happen?

A) The user should be able to click anywhere around the image to close the preview, as is standard behavior. B) The close button should not be in the top corner, or it should not get covered by the button to close the window

TL;DR

The issue can be fixed by adjusting the z-index or positioning of the close button to prevent it from overlapping with the image preview button.

Guidance

  • Verify the CSS styles applied to the close button and the image preview button to identify any z-index or positioning issues.
  • Check if the close button is being rendered as a separate element or if it's part of the image preview component.
  • Consider adding a click event listener to the image preview area to close the preview when clicked, as an alternative to relying on the close button.
  • Review the HTML structure of the image preview and close button to ensure they are not nested in a way that causes the overlap.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not include specific code snippets.

Notes

The solution may require adjustments to the CSS styles or JavaScript code handling the image preview and close button functionality. Without access to the codebase, it's difficult to provide a more specific fix.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adjusting the CSS styles or JavaScript code to prevent the close button from overlapping with the image preview button, as upgrading to a fixed version is not an option since this issue has never worked as expected.
