Description

Reproducible in vscode.dev or in VS Code Desktop?
  • Not reproducible in vscode.dev or VS Code Desktop
Reproducible in the monaco editor playground?
Monaco Editor Playground Link

The monaco editor's suggestWidget used absolute positioning. If the parent element was set to overflow:hidden, the pop-up content would be blocked. I hoped that the SuggestWidget was set to fixed positioning to resolve the bug

Research direction

Start with the Monaco Editor Playground and the suggestWidget behavior described in the issue. No source file or test is named, and the provided playground code is not a runnable reproduction. Done would require a confirmed reproduction and a documented or tested resolution for suggestWidget content being clipped by an overflow-hidden parent.
