Description

What is affected?

Accessibility, Component

Description

When trying to nest a select element inside of a dialog the drop-down doesn’t overflow the dialog as expected on iOS.

Here is an example screenshot showing you what I mean.

Reproduction

https://lit.dev/playground/#gist=6bca317bec6c6ebea62feaefa2ef2525

Workaround

Currently in search of one, presumably trying to make the dialog much larger would be one approach here.

Is this a regression?

No or unsure. This never worked, or I haven't tried before.

Affected versions

1.3.0

Research direction

Start with the linked Lit Playground reproduction and test the nested select inside a dialog on iOS 16.7.5 using Material Web 1.3.0. Trace the dialog and select behavior to determine whether the dropdown can overflow as expected; done means the reproduction works correctly on iOS or the limitation and workaround are documented.
