Metaboxes are partially hidden by .interface-interface-skeleton__footer element

[elliotcondon]

When editing a post that contains metaboxes, the element div.interface-interface-skeleton__footer is absolutely positioned over the top of the metabox area.

Please see attached screenshots of the issue.

Looks like this is a regression in 5.6 - I can reproduce the issue in 5.6RC2, but not in 5.5.3.

Punting this ticket to 5.6.1 as it's too late for 5.6 RC3.

This was fixed by this merged pull request in the gutenberg repo ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/26432, which unfortunately didn't make it into 5.6.

It should be possible to backport it for a 5.6.1 whenever that may be. I've labelled the github PR for backporting.

[hellofromTonya]

Marking as has-patch to move its workflow. As @talldanwp notes, it's been ​fixed upstream and could be backported for 5.6.1.

Leaving this ticket open for tracking purposes.

This has been backported and will be part of the 5.6.1 release.
