Open dropdown menus under their trigger - #3260
Conversation
Style card menus opened to the left of the dots and sometimes flipped upward with room to spare. The cards sit inside several overflow: hidden ancestors, which Popper treats as clipping parents; it then reports the trigger as hidden and positions from a broken rectangle. data-bs-container was meant to avoid this but Bootstrap 5 dropdowns have no container option, so it did nothing. These menus now use static display, the same approach as the More Options dropdown in admin.js, and are placed by CSS. Static display has no flip, so they open upwards when they would run past the bottom of the scroll panel. The Preview menu keeps Popper, which positions it correctly, and is right-aligned by the custom property Bootstrap 5 reads instead of the Bootstrap 4 class name this project still uses.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change updates Bootstrap dropdown placement for right-aligned menus. Style-card dropdowns use static positioning and open above the trigger when the menu would exceed the sidebar or viewport boundary. ChangesDropdown positioning
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change can cause style menus that previously opened upward to reopen below the trigger and become clipped by the sidebar, so the placement reset should be corrected before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Reset the previous placement before measuring.
When frm-dropdown-menu-above was added during the previous opening, the menu remains above while this handler measures it. Its bottom is then usually inside scroller, so overflowsBelow is false. The handler removes the class and reopens the menu below, even when the trigger still overflows the panel.
Remove the class before measuring the below-placement bounds.
Proposed fix
hamburgerMenu.addEventListener( 'shown.bs.dropdown', () => {
const scroller = hamburgerMenu.closest( '`#frm_style_sidebar`' ) || document.documentElement;
+ dropdownMenu.classList.remove( 'frm-dropdown-menu-above' );
const overflowsBelow = dropdownMenu.getBoundingClientRect().bottom > scroller.getBoundingClientRect().bottom;
dropdownMenu.classList.toggle( 'frm-dropdown-menu-above', overflowsBelow );
} );📝 Committable suggestion

Style card menus opened to the left of the stacked dots, and sometimes flipped upward with room to spare below.
The cards sit inside several
overflow: hiddenancestors. Popper treats those as clipping parents, reports the trigger as hidden, and positions from a broken rectangle.data-bs-container="body"was there to avoid exactly this, but Bootstrap 5 dropdowns have nocontaineroption, so it never did anything.In this update,
admin.js.data-bs-containerattribute is removed.--bs-position, which is what Bootstrap 5 reads when choosing a placement. Thedropdown-menu-rightclass this project uses is Bootstrap 4 naming and has had no effect since the upgrade.Worth checking on review: this changes placement for the style card menus and right-aligns the Preview menu, so it is worth clicking through both plus the builder's More Options menu, which shares the same class.
