DropDowns Incompatibility with stack-in cards

[sdrapha]

Starting on HA version 2022.3
The dropdowns don't show correclty if the mini-media-playerlink card is used inside a custom:stack-in-cardlink or a custom:vertical-stack-in-card link

I'll cross post this issue on the other involved custom cards repos, as I don't know what is the root cause for the issue.

Cross posted issues:

custom-cards/stack-in-card#40

Same where

same for me. I think it came with the HA 2022.03 update. something changed in the lovelace system.

I replaced custom:vertical-stack-in-card with vertical-stack and the issue is gone. so the root cause seems to be in the custom vertical-stack-in

Same Problem.

Same problem as well, my dropdowns disappear behind the next card. They work fine in a normal vertical stack.

I think the problem may be that generally any kind of overflow gets hidden.

I've seen this problem as well with other things such as when adjusting input_number sliders. The indicator showing what number you've selected that pops up above the slider will get cut off slightly if it's at the top of the card.

Same with me. So I fallbacked to regular vertical card. Running 2022.10
I used this fix given in another post (need card_mod that I already had installed)

card_mod:
style: |
ha-card {
overflow: visible !important;
}

[ScottG489]

Would the fix for this then to have that styling built in to the card?

It looks like we even explicitly hide overflow:
https://github.com/ofekashery/vertical-stack-in-card/blob/master/vertical-stack-in-card.js#L41

Looks like it was done in this commit: d0cb3bf

Looking at the commit and issues it fixed (#70 and #81) it's still not clear to me why we needed to hide overflow though.

@ofekashery Since you made that change, care to weigh in? Would it be as simple as removing card.style.overflow = 'hidden'; or is that styling necessary to fix other issues?

[sdrapha]

I made a PR to fix this issue, half an year ago already, is there any concern blocking it from being merged @ofekashery? Apreciate your thoughts. I'm using my modified version since then, flawless, couldn't find any collaterel effect, it just works.

@sdrapha thanks for finding the issue. I tried to manually edit the line in www/community/vertical-stack-in-card/vertical-stack-in-card.js but it does not work. Do I need to remove it from HACS and download your fork ?
(if so, a rebase would be awesome)

[sdrapha]

@jbtrystram , if you manually edit the .js file. you probably need to delete the .gz file.
Also, don't forget to clear your browsers cache.
It should work.

@sdrapha thanks for your answer. It appears to work only for one of my cards, but not the others. Also if I delete everything in the JS file my dashboards stops working, but when entering the "edit" widget it is still displayed properly. So there is some cache messing with this.
