DEF-013 — Stories Management: Oversized Arrow/Chevron Icon Display

Summary

The Stories Management page displays two massive pagination chevron icons (< and >) far below the stories table. These are the Previous/Next pagination arrow icons rendering at approximately 400×400px — far exceeding their intended small button size. The oversized icons create excessive blank space and break the page layout.

Environment

  • URL: https://project6.dxtserver.com/drivelink_new/public/admin/stories
  • Module: Admin Panel → Stories → Stories Management
  • Date Observed: 2026-05-15
  • Browser: Chrome

Screenshot

Stories Management - Oversized Pagination Icons

The screenshot clearly shows two oversized pagination chevron icons (< and >) rendered far below the stories table. These correspond to the Previous and Next pagination controls, whose SVG icons are rendering at approximately 400×400px instead of their intended small button size.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Log in to the Admin Panel at https://project6.dxtserver.com/drivelink_new/public/
  2. Navigate to Stories → Stories from the left sidebar
  3. Observe the Stories Management page
  4. Note the oversized arrow icon displayed in the center of the content area

Expected Behaviour

  • The Stories Management page should display a clean list/grid of stories
  • No oversized icons should be visible in the content area
  • The page layout should be consistent with other admin pages

Actual Behaviour

  • A massive dark-grey left chevron (<) is rendered below the pagination controls
  • A massive blue-grey right chevron (>) is rendered further below, near the footer
  • Both icons are approximately 400×400px, taking up hundreds of pixels of vertical space
  • The page requires significant scrolling to reach the footer due to these icons

Severity

Medium — The defect obscures content but doesn’t break functionality. Users can still scroll past it to see stories.

Priority

High — Affects user experience and makes the Stories Management page look broken.
