I know that when “overlay” is selected the parent is automatically converted to relative for the attachment of the overlay pseudo element, but when “background” is selected, this isn’t necessary. This appears to be a pretty egregious bug that prevents you from using gradients on absolutely positioned elements.
I was able to reproduce the issue and added it to our bug tracker.
In the meantime, reset the position and set it back to absolute. This way around, it seems to stay absolute
This is also true when you have an image set to absolute inside of a container along with other static content and attempt to apply an overlay to the image. It pushes any content within the same container below the image. Looks fine on the front end… but in the builder it does not work.
You said “in the meantime, reset the position and set it back to absolute”…
I wanted to clarify that my image still shows absolute in the builder… and the parent container is still set to relative. I am unable to do anything to enable the builder to show it correctly.
I just tested it with an image+overlay and if I understood your post correctly, this problem will also be solved in the next version. If not, please create a new report.
Hi Mick,
not that I know of - as far as the original report is concerned. However, your screenshot looks more like what was described here, to which I never received any feedback.
If there is a problem (different from the one originally reported here by Kevin), please create a new report including reproducible steps
