Area(s) with issue?
Power Display
Steps to reproduce
- Connect multiple monitors.
- Open the Power Display flyout.
- Check the list of available displays.
✔️ Expected Behavior
All connected monitors should be accessible. If the list does not fit into the available space, the flyout should be scrollable.
❌ Actual Behavior
Only the monitors that fit into the visible area are shown. There is no scrolling, so some monitors cannot be accessed or configured from the flyout.

Research direction

Trace how the display list is laid out within the available flyout space. Done means every connected monitor can be reached and configured when the list exceeds the visible area.
