Fiedsets as tabs CSS issue

[bloodwithmilk25]

Python
3.11
Django
4.2.2
django-admin-interface
0.26.0

When the "Fieldsets as tabs" feature is enabled, the help text CSS does not look right.
Should it look like this or is it a bug? We don't have any custom CSS.
It looks like it's related to the Django version we are using. On my other project, I have Django 4.1.9 and CSS is fine. When I updated Django on that other project, the issue appeared there too.

@bloodwithmilk25 thank you for reporting this.

It's a CSS bug.

If you disable fieldsets as tabs option, does the problem persist?

[bloodwithmilk25]

@fabiocaccamo No, it looks just fine without this option

@bloodwithmilk25 I checked the cause of this problem and:

• the good news is that it seems that finally the help_text is left-aligned with the inputs independently by the left margin.

• the bad news is that fixing this issue now, would result in breaking the layout for all users that are not using the latest django version.

Patching the CSS only for the latest version would work, but it would also implies some additional maintenance work in the future and I would prefer to avoid it.

So in the end I would opt for having the best compatibility with the latest/coming django versions, users can avoid to upgrade this library to avoid unexpected misalignments.

What do you think?

[bloodwithmilk25]

@fabiocaccamo I think you are right. It's not a big deal since it's only happening on django 4.2 and with a "Fieldsets as tabs" enabled, so I don't think many users are affected. We can return to it later when more users use Django >=4.2.

Would you mind posting a patched section of the CSS? I'll patch it just in my project.
Thank you!
