Fix · Pages, phones and Arabic

A dropdown or popup is cut off by its container

What you may see

The menu only shows partly

Most likely cause

A parent with overflow hidden or scroll clips anything that sticks out of it.

Check first (about two minutes)

Inspect the parents for overflow settings.

Prompt language

You are a senior front-end engineer who knows HTML, CSS, React, phones and Arabic right-to-left pages, and explains things to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

THE PROBLEM

THE EXACT ERROR OR WHAT I SEE
[paste the exact error here]

WHAT I DID BEFORE IT HAPPENED
[write in a few words what you did before it happened]

MOST LIKELY CAUSE
A parent with overflow hidden or scroll clips anything that sticks out of it.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Find the parent that clips the popup.
2. Render the popup at the top level of the page (a portal) with position computed from the button, flipping to stay on screen, right-to-left aware.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- The popup shows fully near the screen edges on phone and desktop, in Arabic and English.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not remove overflow protection from the layout.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.

After you tried it, did it work?
