Why is a new section at the bottom of a user interface not visible?

When a new section is added to the bottom of a user interface, a developer must check its visibility. If the section is hidden by other elements, the developer must adjust the spacing.

The rule

When a new section is added to the bottom of a user interface, a developer must check its visibility.

If the section is hidden by other elements, the developer must adjust the spacing.

A new section added to the bottom of a user interface might be hidden. This happens if another element, like a cost bar, covers it. The developer needs to add more space below the new section. This space is called padding.

A developer adds a new 'Translate To' section at the bottom of a sidebar. A user cannot see this section because a cost bar covers it. The developer adds more padding to the bottom of the sidebar. Now the 'Translate To' section is fully visible to the user.
