Footer not staying at bottom of page - Moodle 3.6 alpha behaviour

[bollycanuk]

I know the version 3.6 release is still a month away but I've been running Moodle 3.6 alpha for a while. The current Moodle 3.5 Fordson v3.5 release 3 update 12 (2018100100) theme works really well with it EXCEPT that the footer tends to scroll up with the page. What is really weird is that if I zoom my browser in or out, the footer position is always at the "bottom" of the portion of the page that is first visible - i.e. the home position. But the footer still scrolls up from that initial position when I scroll down the page.

Here is a page when I first load it:

Here is the page when I scroll down. Footer follows the scrolling

Now if I zoom out to 80% the top portion looks like it should

But scrolling down, the footer still scrolls up, albeit in a different vertical position.

cheers, Derek

It does NOT happen with the Moodle 3.6 Boost theme.

I've noticed it too on my dev site. Once we get closer I will have to see what all they changed and try to fix it.
Here's what I've got so far and it seems to help fix up some things:

#page-wrapper {height:auto;}
#region-main {
    border: 0;
    padding: 1.25rem;
    background-color: transparent;
}

Yup, that seems to fix it.

many thanks! Derek

While I gave you a quick fix we have more to go. I have a working Moodle 3.6 copy that fixes this as well as some classes that were changed in core.
Try out this... fordson_initialrelease_Moodle36.zip

The big change in the zip I attached was to move the footer placement in the actual template. It was outside the page-wrapper div and I moved it inside that and the issue went away. That will be the permanent fix.
