[Bug]: Combobox goes outside the view

[maelp]

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/fls328?file=src%2FApp.vue

Describe the bug

When the combobox is at the bottom of the view (or more commonly: at the bottom of an AlertDialog or whatever) it can often "leave the window", and doesn't seem to use avoid-collisions to show on the right side

@maelp Thank for your reproduction 👍

Based on radix-vue docs you can limit available height to define scroll, but this is not the approach you are chasing.

I made a small fix on your repo where just added min-h-[100px] to PopoverContent component. reproduction. This forces Radix-vue to recalculate position and place Content above our trigger.

@sadeghbarati Hello mate, I don't think this issue is valid to shadcn-vue repo, maybe need to update radix-vue docs, what do you think?

@romanhrynevych Hello Roman, sure, go ahead

I'm not familiar with FloatingUI stuff

@sadeghbarati @romanhrynevych any update on this? is there a way to fix this without having to introduce an arbitrary size limit?

[maelp]

@romanhrynevych the bug still exists when we add the Combobox in a Dialog, any idea how to fix this?

@maelp Everything works fine for me, can you add some screenshots?

[maelp]

If you make the window smaller it doesn't display correctly

[hrynevychroman]

Based on same logic with min-h, just increase size to 210px taken from screenshot and everything works fine 🙂

hmmmm weird, I'd rather not use a large min-h, because otherwise if there's only a few options it will be "mostly empty" no? @sadeghbarati

I've been finding the same issue. In my case I found that adding a max height to the <CommandList> made it adjust its position e.g.

<CommandList class="max-h-[140px]">

I see that Radix Vue now has a dedicated Combobox component so I'm not sure if the idea is to replace this with that, or continue to use the Popover/Command for it?
