  2. In the hero banner, locate a carousel item that includes a Show Instructions button.
  3. Tap Show Instructions to open the page in a new tab.

  5. Return to the homepage and observe the hero banner carousel.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on the MakeCode micro:bit beta homepage in iPad landscape mode with Safari, following the listed steps for opening multiple Show Instructions pages. Then locate the hero banner carousel implementation and verify that the indicator dots remain fully visible after returning to the homepage; done means the dots are no longer cut off.
