A consumer request form slack thread RHOAI

as for the positioning of the arrow, it would be nice if PF could support the feature that comes from popper. But it’s not just the positioning of the arrow, it’s positioning of the content box itself to stay visible in the viewport if there’s enough space instead of pushing out of the viewport boundary and causing scroll bars to appear on the body.

Research direction

Start by locating the PatternFly component or positioning entry point that uses Popper, then review the linked consumer request for context. Done means the arrow can be positioned as requested and the content box stays within the viewport when space allows, without causing body scrollbars.
