Dropdown cell template is now shown

[hikalkan]

Hi,

Similar problem was discussed here: #666 But it's old. Now,

When I have a bootstrap bropdown button in a cell template, it is now shown. I created CSS (actually less) for it:

.ui-grid-cell.showMe {
    overflow: visible;

    .ui-grid-cell-contents {
        overflow: visible;
    }
}

and then user showMe as cellClass. The result:

It seems working BUT, still there is a problem with table overflow:

When it overflows from table, it's now shown. How we can solve the problem?

Hi,

Could you check it? This is important, because we can not use dropdown button in a grid. And it's widely used to provide actions for a row.

It's almost certainly due to overflow properties on one of the other ui-grid directives, or the z-order thing.

I really suck at css, and I think the other core ui-grid devs feel the same. It's also almost impossible to diagnose something like this without a plunker.

I'd suggest using the Chrome developer tools and working up through the stack to see what overflow properties and other properties are set on the various elements that enclose the cell in question, and see whether editing any of them fixes your problem. If so, then you're into trying to create a css override to give you that effecct.

I tried some overflow setting but could not succeed. I just did'nt try to change table's overflow. But I hesitate from changing it since it may break other things. I'll try it also.
I'll try z-order also but don't think it's related to z-index.

Any chance of a plunker for this?

My current workaround is:

.ui-grid .dropdown.open {
  position: fixed;
}

but it may also cause other problems in some conditions.

I am facing an issue may be related to this. When there is large amount of data the dropdown button disappears when scrolling down... Similar to the screenshot attached
