I have just noticed that in Discussions, the "previous" and "next" buttons are shifted to the right. In "View as Student", they are completely covered up with the notification banner.
Is this just for me or a general bug?
Screenshots attached.
Hi @PaulFielding, @JouriEno, and @theJBRU,
I do see this myself too. I was hoping it was associated witht he Checkpoints feature, which is turned off, but it seems to be an independent change. I would recommend that everyone contact Canvas support and report this issue, as they are the official avenue to get things fixed. The more people who report it, the more likely it is to get seen and addressed somewhat quickly.

Hi @PaulFielding
The "Student View" banner is an overlay on top of the existing screen, so it doesn't really do anything to avoid covering up content. You should be able to use the scrollbar on the right side of the window to scroll down to the bottom of the frame.
This appears to be due to an Instructure script that is adding inline styling to the module_sequence_footer. Doing so over-rides any customization that might have been done to the theme.
I always use "Student View" to see whether the students have any issues viewing and navigating the contents of a module and the pages that I publish. Moving between pages, when I reach a discussion, the "Previous" and "Next" buttons disappear from the page and I have to navigate back to Modules and go to the next page to view it. The buttons show fine in the instructor normal view. I use Google Chrome on Windows 11 machine.
I don't see the Previous and Next items at all in Student view (even when I Zoom out so I can see more of the available screen in Student View). Thank you for the heads up. But I do see them when I'm in an instance of Canvas where I'm only a student:
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
