Walkthrough

The changes update the changelog to document a UI fix for the visibility of Cancel and Continue buttons on small screens in the Start/Join Room dialog. In the RoomJoinButton component, the form structure and dialog footer are refactored: the form is given an explicit ID, and buttons are moved to a named footer slot and linked to the form via the form attribute.

Changes

resources/js/components/RoomJoinButton.vue	Refactored form structure: assigned an explicit form ID, moved buttons to a named footer slot, and linked the submit button to the form via the `form` attribute.

🔇 Additional comments (4)

resources/js/components/RoomJoinButton.vue (2)

44-44: Good practice: Explicit form ID assignment.

Adding an explicit ID to the form enables proper linking with external submit buttons, which is essential for the footer restructuring.

155-175: Excellent UX improvement: Footer slot implementation.

The restructuring effectively addresses the visibility issue by:

Moving buttons to a dedicated footer slot that remains visible

Maintaining form submission functionality via the form attribute

Following Vue.js best practices for dialog structure

This ensures Cancel and Continue buttons are always accessible on small screens without requiring scrolling.

CHANGELOG.md (2)

10-13: Clear and accurate changelog entry.

The changelog entry properly documents the UX fix with appropriate categorization under "Fixed" and includes the correct PR reference.

529-529: Consistent reference linking.

The PR reference link follows the project's established pattern for changelog references.
