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 );
 		} );
