Good report. Excellent observation that the long pop-down menu is not flexible enough, leaving a portion that is not accessible.

The whole frame for it, needs to slide up, in order to reveal the bottom of its list.

@beng,
Yes great report — I believe this is likely a Linux UI specific issue. I don’t see this behavior at all on Windows or macOS. I’ve asked some of the linux team members to try and reproduce this for us. Will reply back here when I have more informaiton.

@beng,
To start, can you please update to the latest version of the browser and confirm whether or not the issue persists after updating?
