Hello friends! There is a great extension for XWiki - Back To Top Application. It displays a button that allows you to quickly return to the top of the page. For long pages this function is very useful.
Unfortunately, in version 17.4. this application does not work (the button is not displayed).
Reinstalling the extension did not help.
Perhaps a conflict with the new hiding panels?
Please advise how to restore functionality, our employees often use this button.
And it seems to me that this extension (or something similar) would be useful to include in XWiki by default.
My guess is that it got broken by the generic changes to the layout of XWiki. This will probably warrant a patch to make sure it’s still displayed.
Looking into it.

It seems to work on my local 17.5.0-SNAPSHOT instance. I doubt there’s a difference between 17.4 and 17.5 on this.
Can you check if the HTML for the button is generated? It’d help understand what’s happening if you can figure out if the problem is initialization (for some reason the code doesn’t work anymore and no button is generated in the HTML) or actualization (for some reason the trigger to show the button is not hit anymore).
The button is positioned with
position: fixed;
bottom: 75px;
right: 50px;
and its parent is the <body>, so my guess was wrong and it didn’t get impacted by the changes in the layout…
I checked: html is not generated ((
