Fix tour arrow overlap with modal text content

[vanshika2720]

Summary

Fixes navigation arrow overlap with text content in the About dialog of the Help Widget.

Problem

The tour navigation arrows (#left-arrow and #right-arrow) were overlapping the text content in the About modal, making it difficult to read. This occurred because:

1. A conflicting media query changed arrow positioning from absolute to relative below 390px viewport width
2. Insufficient horizontal padding in the content area allowed arrows to overlap text

Solution

Changes Made

1. Removed conflicting media query (@media (max-width: 390px)) that was breaking absolute positioning
2. Added horizontal padding (50px on both sides) to #helpBodyDiv to create clearance for arrows

Technical Details

• Arrows remain absolutely positioned at left: 12px and right: 12px
• Content now has padding: 1rem 50px 0 50px providing ~38px clearance
• Fix works across all screen sizes (320px to 1920px+)

Testing

• Tested on desktop viewport (1920px, 1366px, 1024px)
• Tested on mobile viewports (390px, 375px, 320px)
• Hard refreshed browser to clear CSS cache
• Verified arrows no longer overlap text
• Verified tour navigation works properly
• All pages in tour display correctly (1-37)

2. Add content padding for clearance
   No JavaScript changes, no breaking changes to existing functionality.

Hi @haroon10725 ,

I have cleaned up the PR to remove all unrelated formatting and indentation changes. The diff now surgically addresses the arrow overlap issue with exactly 1 line added (padding) and 15 lines removed (the conflicting media query).

I have also:

Verified the fix on multiple screen sizes.
Confirmed that npm run lint and all 2532 Jest tests pass locally.
Updated the commit message to follow project guidelines.
Thank you for the feedback!

The arrow over the scroll bar is not great. Any ideas?

Maybe move the arrows close to text.

Thanks for the feedback! @walterbender @haroon10725
I agree the arrows overlapping the scrollbar isn’t ideal.

One option could be to move the arrows slightly inward so they align closer to the text content instead of the scrollbar. Another approach might be to reduce the arrow size or adjust their z-index to avoid overlapping the scroll area.

I can try repositioning the arrows closer to the content and push an update — let me know if that sounds good.

I tried moving the arrows closer to the content as discussed, but on slides with longer text the arrows ended up overlapping the modal text in some cases.

To avoid content overlap across different slides and screen sizes, I’ve positioned the arrows slightly farther out so they stay clear of both the scrollbar and the text. This seemed to be the most consistent placement while keeping the content readable.

Please let me know if you’d prefer a different trade-off or if you’d like me to explore another approach (e.g., conditional positioning or size adjustments).

Hi @walterbender @haroon10725 @FirePheonix ,

I understand you asked me to remove changes to abc.test.js. However, the ESLint workflow is failing because abc.test.js has Prettier formatting issues that need to be fixed.

The issue is that the ESLint GitHub Action runs both:

1. ESLint (code quality)
2. Prettier (code formatting)

When I modified abc.test.js in an earlier commit, Prettier now requires those changes to follow the project's code style (removing quotes from numeric object keys like { "0": "" } → { 0: "" }).

I have two options:

1. Keep the Prettier fix in abc.test.js (current state) - This makes the ESLint workflow pass
2. Revert all abc.test.js changes - This will cause the ESLint workflow to fail permanently

The changes are purely formatting with no functional impact. All 26 tests in abc.test.js still pass.

Which approach would you prefer?
