Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
This is a pure UI issue with the settings of the users.
The list of groups is clipped and there is no way to scroll though the list of groups (see screenshot).
Steps to reproduce
- Visit an instance with admin rights at /index.php/settings/users#
- Ensure one user has sufficient many groups attached to overflow the column.
- Save and look at the overview
Expected behavior
All groups are visible for inspection by the admin
