Click any of the Author Date references (with the dotted underlines) that are either close to the top of the browser window, or are broken across two lines of the text or, in mobile view, close to the left-hand side of the text column
Expected behavior:
A citation pop-up opens above the reference, which contains the full bibliographic reference to be read by the user.
Actual behavior:
The citations open as expected, but in many instances (dependent on the location of the citation on the page and the widow width) part of the citation can be cut off. When it's at the top, the user can scroll down (though it's not an ideal interaction), but if it's cut off to the left or right, there's no way to see the full citation. This screenshot shows three problematic instances:

This issue is global with Quire, not just the Rococo catalogue
In the spirit of Quire simplicity and sustainability, I'd be nervous about a solution that involved a lot of additional or complex JavaScript to re-position these pop-up containers. One thought I had was to rethink the interface a little and maybe the pop-ups could open in a fixed position in the browser window, like always in a box at the bottom of the window, instead of attached so directly to the link in the text. I don't know if that's any better, or workable, but all to say that I'd be okay thinking about these pop-ups in new ways. It is a really valuable feature though. We use them very widely.
Also with the idea of rethinking the pop-ups, the other things I've wondered about these is how accessible they are (I'm guessing not at all), and if the lack of any visual closing mechanism is problematic.
