How does one alert?

During my 15 years here, I have alerted maybe 10 times. One of them at someone who responded to a post of mine F**ck You. I don't remember what it was about. Yes, it was hidden.

But now, when one clicks on the alert abuse, a large screens opens, one can select the reason and then, what? All I see are several cancels buttons. Hitting Enter, or Return does not do anything.

Can anyone post examples?

The full explanation of the rule will appear, along with a button that says "I believe the post violates this rule". That will submit the alert.

Still, I manage to screenshot an image

So there is a cancel on the corner - did not capture it - and a close near the small area.

What do I do next? Where is the enter button?
