How to show block edit icon on mobile?

Once in a while a block will be offset and not allow the triggering of the block edit icon in mobile view.  Is there some css code I can add in to perhaps push the block edit icon popup to be permanent (like not on mouseover) or perhaps change the position to move it more to the left or center of the top edge instead of top right?  As it is I need to create a new block, flip to mobile, change it's settings, flip back to desktop and drag everything to the new block.

  Hi Jason,

  "Once in a while" - does this mean that it only happens sometimes? Is it happening randomly? How can we replicate this? Please provide the link to your website, your login details(in a private request) and we will check this on your website. Thanks.

  "Once in a while" means that sometimes on some blocks it happens.  It never goes away once it happens.  It's like the block becomes corrupted.  It looks fine in desktop or tablet but you just can't see/click the block edit icon.

  I can create a new block, move everything to the new block and the new block is fine.  Unfortunately I don't have the old block available.

  What I was looking for was a way to move the block edit icon to a different location, maybe top left or something via css so that if it happened again, I could salvage the block.

  Hi,

  unfortunately, there is no option to do that and simple CSS won't help. Please make a screen recorder next time you encounter this problem. If we see the problem we can offer a solution.

  Well, I feel better knowing it isn't a simple fix as I spent 30 minute trying to salvage the block.  I'll let you know if it happens again.

  That keeps happening. Would be great just adding the edit access in right-mouse-click, so you dont have to search for the button.

  Any recent update about this issue?

  I found a solution, if anyone falls in the same issue.

  

  Adjust width of the BLOCK. Bring the buton inside the screen and there you go.

  Good luck.
