Test Report :
I tested the patch that was attached to see if it would fix the problem with the screenshot lightbox trigger icon overlapping the menu when you scroll down.
Test Environment:
- Version: I used the version of the Plugin Directory with the patch applied this was for testing in June 2026
- Browser: I used Google Chrome it was the latest stable version
- OS: My operating system was Linux
Steps to Verify:
- Open the Plugin Directory page
- Scroll down to the part where it says Screenshots
- Put your mouse over any screenshot to make the lightbox icon appear
- Scroll the page the top navigation menu will stay visible
- See how the different parts of the page are layered on top of each
Actual Result:
The lightbox trigger icon for the screenshot does not overlap the main menu anymore. The header stays on top of everything on the page.
Expected Result:
The top menu should always be on top of everything and the lightbox trigger for the screenshot should be below it.

Reproducibility: I was able to repeat this 100 percent of the time I tried it times.
The patch is working like it should. The problem with the z-index stacking has been fixed successfully. The patch, for the screenshot lightbox trigger icon is working as expected.
This PR fixes a visual bug where the screenshot lightbox trigger icon was overlapping the menu, on hovering the screenshot.
## Fix
Added a z-index value for the trigger-icon, to override the inherited value.
