Superfluous positioning for .ab-top-secondary

[scribu]

The user menu is floated to the right. It doesn't need the additional positioning rules.

I mark this as a defect because I have a plugin that sets the admin bar to position: absolute and it doesn't work properly now.

This is work in progress.

The reason behind this is to make the my account for small screens available.

Yes, trunk always is. :P

Quite interesting. In that case we should lose the float: right.

Actually, I set the user menu to

position:fixed;
top:0;
right:0;

(except for RTL, where it flips)

If we just left it as right:0; would it be able to scroll out of screen as expected? Which use case would that be?

And scribu -- can't you just override the CSS changes we've made in trunk in your plugin? Use a higher css specificity level, or get your stylesheet included later?

The float:right ensures that the block-level-element does not occupy all the available width, but is only as wide as it needs to be. We could use display:inline-block to accomplish a similar effect, but I felt that changing fewer things would be better.

Testing in Firefox and Chrome, float: right doesn't make any difference, no matter the screen size.

Had to remove the position: fixed since it covers other (plugin added?) menus.
