A developer must consider how CSS properties affect content visibility.
Small design choices can lead to unexpected display issues. Always calculate space requirements before coding.
Using an extra `div` with `overflow: hidden` can hide content. Absolutely positioned child elements can make the `:empty` selector unreliable. Whitespace characters can prevent the `:empty` selector from working as expected. Setting `innerText = ''` can remove important HTML elements. This is a problem when those elements are needed later. A separate element should be used for text content. Small fixed heights can prevent content from displaying fully. A developer must ensure enough space for all elements. Not planning for total height can cause repeated failures. Using `opacity` for visual hierarchy can create unwanted dark areas. It is better to use specific color variables for text. This keeps the design consistent and clear. Action chips with large border-radius and borders can look like input fields. This can confuse the user. Removing the border and using a smaller radius improves clarity.
A developer creates a status bar with a fixed height of 24 pixels. The progress bar content is larger than 24 pixels. The content is clipped and not fully visible to the user. The developer then increases the height to 28 pixels, and the content displays correctly.

An introductory screen should be completely removed from the active layout. This means using a method like `display: none` in web development.
Floating elements need a special stacking order. This order is called a stacking context.
A developer tried to fix a display issue. The developer wrapped two elements, `#status` and `#milestoneFooter`, in a new container called `.status-slot`.
A developer must treat mobile and desktop as two separate apps. They should use media queries to define distinct CSS layouts for each.
