*** POP QUIZ!!! ***
*******************

There is something in this demo that could be considered a UI bug relating to the z-index. When you open the "Open Stuff" menu, the gray backdrop doesn't cover the yellow footer. Can you fix it by editing only the z-index constants?

4) Quiz answer

The fix for the footer stacking issue can be made in the first couple of lines of the Z-index values section. They originally looked like this:

const zLayoutNavigation = above + base;
const zLayoutFooter = above + base;

The header and the footer both have the same value, and since the footer comes second in the document order, it is placed above all of the contents on the navigation. Since the "Open Stuff" menu is in the stacking context created by the of the navigation, it will never be able to be above the footer.

To fix this, you can set up the navigation to be above the footer like this:

const zLayoutFooter = above + base;
const zLayoutNavigation = above + zLayoutFooter;
