Summary

The formatting menu in a card description was sliding under tables. Deck forced that menu to z-index: 1, while the Text editor draws table controls at z-index: 3. Because the menu is sticky, that low value also trapped its dropdowns underneath the table.

This raises the sidebar menu to z-index: 4, the same level the Text app uses for this bar. That is high enough to paint above tables, and still low enough to stay under the tag and user menus (50) and the sticky card header (100). A much higher value would cover those menus again, which is what happened when this override was 100.

Fixes #7789

TODO

  • Raise the sidebar description menubar above Text table widgets

  • Code is properly formatted
  • Sign-off message is added to all commits
  • Tests (unit, integration, api and/or acceptance) are included
  • Documentation (manuals or wiki) has been updated or is not required

No automated test covers this stacking order. The change is one CSS value, chosen to sit between the existing layers.

The sidebar override set the Text menubar to z-index 1, so its dropdowns painted under table widgets. Use 4 so the menu stays above those widgets and still below tag menus and the sticky sidebar header.

Fixes nextcloud#7789
