Found by the owner on prod (4.6.1), 2026-10-28. Typing [[Vel at the end of the second line of a page opens the link menu (Velara · Settlement / Create "Vel…") over the top-left of the text box, covering the first lines and the word being typed.

Cause. .ed-ac (pages/wiki/Editor.css) is absolutely positioned at a fixed spot, left: var(--sp-3); top: var(--sp-5, 2.5rem), below the box's top edge, wherever the caret is. On any page with text it lands on the first lines.

Fix (v4.6.2): place the menu at the caret. Measure the caret's position in the textarea with a hidden mirror element, then put the menu just under that line, keep it inside the pane horizontally, and flip it above the line when there isn't room below. Re-place it as the text box scrolls. Keep the current spot as the fallback where nothing can be measured. Test with the measurement stubbed.
