Previous Behavior
If you use a popover with the autosize option and an arrow, when the scrollbar appears, the arrow is no longer visible; this is due to the overflow.
There are a multiple ways of how to fix/workaround the issue described #35438 (comment). TLDR, we need to move
overflowfromPopoverSurfaceto underlying elementSo here is what happens now:
And I'm suggest to create an example with consumer-side workaround like this:
We could technically handle this behind the scenes, but that might break things since it would mean updating the
usePositioninghook (which a bunch of components use) and changing their DOM structure. So, I think it's best to just call this a known limitation for now and document a workaround for anyone who runs into it.New Behavior
Added a new Popover example demonstrating how to use
<Popover positioning={{ autoSize: true }} withArrow>without encountering the issue where the arrow gets clipped.Related Issue(s)
