Description

Problem to solve

For VOverlays that use the "connected" locationStrategy, and have content that changes size, it is sometimes better to allow shifting the position, but not flipping the origin alignment to a different corner. That way, it stays consistent as the content size changes.

This reproduction shows how the origin can flip as content size changes. (In the neighborhood of a desktop browser window, say, 1700x900):

Proposed solution

Adding a noFlip prop that skips the block of code that decides whether to flip is a small change that logically should have no changes to behavior when the prop isn't used.

Research direction

Start with the linked reproduction and inspect VOverlay's connected locationStrategy behavior, especially the logic that flips origin alignment as content size changes. Use the proposed fork as context; done means a noFlip option allows shifting without flipping while preserving existing behavior when it is unused.
