Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

When the account is loading on Settings, the location of the loading skeleton is slightly off from where the actual avatar and username will go

What is the root cause of that problem?

Styles change

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should add margin-left with negative value here

App/src/styles/index.ts

Lines 2828 to 2830 in 513e6b3

	avatarSectionWrapperSkeleton: {
	width: '100%',
	},

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Or we can reduce the value of startPositionX

This is results when we set marginLeft = -8px or startPositionX = 22px

Proposal


Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Loading skeleton for Settings header is slightly off

What is the root cause of that problem?

The cx value is set to 30.

App/src/components/AccountSwitcherSkeletonView/index.tsx

Line 25 in 8383570

const startPositionX = 30;

App/src/components/AccountSwitcherSkeletonView/index.tsx

Line 36 in 8383570

cx={startPositionX}

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?


Reduce it to 20 or something else as per requirement.

Result

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

The setting avatar skeleton loader is not aligned to the left.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The cx value here is set to 30.

App/src/components/AccountSwitcherSkeletonView/index.tsx

Lines 35 to 36 in a5ca9b8

	<Circle
	cx={startPositionX}

App/src/components/AccountSwitcherSkeletonView/index.tsx

Line 25 in a5ca9b8

const startPositionX = 30;

The cx value tells the position of the x center of the circle. If we set it to 0, then only the right half of the circle will be shown.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

To align the circle to the left of the view, then we need to set the cx to be the half size of the circle, which is the same as its radius. So, we can put the radius value here as the startPositionX.

App/src/components/AccountSwitcherSkeletonView/index.tsx

Line 25 in a5ca9b8

const startPositionX = 30;

const startPositionX = avatarPlaceholderRadius;

Thank you all for your proposals. All correctly identified the Avatar Skeleton Circle centre position as the reason for the mismatch.

As far as my experience and understanding w.r.t. CSS/SVG issues goes, identifying the correct attribute and its accurate value (considering other existing styles/attributes) is seen valuable enough to prioritise a proposal over others.

@bernhardoj 's proposal identifies the circle position exactly to match the loaded avatar position. I think we can go with his proposal.

Regression Test Proposal

1. Go to Settings > Troubleshoot
2. Press Clear cache and restart > Reset and Refresh
3. Go back to Settings if it is a narrow layout
4. Verify that the position of the circle on top left remains the same as the skeleton view's even after the avatar is loaded
