[Feature Request]: Remove `overflow-y: hidden` from `StructuredList` styles #10794

Closed metonym closed 2 years ago

metonym commented 2 years ago

Summary

.bx--structured-list sets overflow-y: hidden which hides vertically overflowing content.

This impacts carbon-components-svelte, where tooltips are implemented using relative positioning. This causes tooltip menus in the bottom row to be clipped (see https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-components-svelte/issues/1106).

Is there a specific reason for this CSS rule? Can it be safely removed?

Hey @metonym! 👋 This is a great point. When looking at the styles, @tay1orjones pointed out that this is one of the older styles in the library and probably is something that could be removed as a result.
