EditCheck CSS affects unrelated dialogs in VisualEditor
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

I found that a piece of CSS from EditCheck is interfering with dialogs like the Cite editor, image dialog, and others.

This is the problematic CSS: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/EVED/browse/master/editcheck/modules/EditCheck.less#L550

The selector is not specific enough and also affects unrelated surfaces that are inside dialogs.
