Having a custom css forbids access to the bug and suggestion

Post by Cixi-K »

Hello, I wanted to know why having a custom CSS prevented access to the bug and proposals section? If it's really annoying, isn't it possible not to import user CSS on critical pages?
Moreover I find it strange that CSS can cause problems since we can manually modify it once on the page (F12).

The reason is that custom CSS could be the root cause of a display or interface issue. This step pushes those using this feature to at least check if the issue is still present without custom CSS. If the bug or suggestion ultimately stems from something only you are seeing because of custom CSS, it would lead to frustration and wasted time for developers trying to reproduce it.

Indeed it makes sense ;).
In my case I only have CSS for the game Quarto. It's quite tedious to remove my CSS, go back to the bugs page and rethink to put the custom CSS afterwards. But I understand the process.
After maybe just forbidding the creation of bug reports with custom CSS but not the consultation of current bugs or report would be just as efficient and less penalizing ;)
