Steps to reproduce:

Click addon toolbar button to let popup appear, in a screen where Firefox window position (or screen size) limits popup size, so the popup's actual size is smaller than the popup contents need.
(Tested on both Windows and Linux desktop)

Actual results:

Scrollbars are missing (vertical and horizontal).
User can see only part of popup content.
User can't scroll to completely see popup content.

Expected results:

Scrollbars should show

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Layout: Scrolling and Overflow' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Initially I tried to see the issue with this extension in bug 1683612 comment 0, but can't see the issue at all.

Then I found Big Search extension which looks the same extension in the screenshots.

Garywill, looks like you are the author of the extension in question, and I think this issue happens with the interactions between the contents used in the extension and Gecko. Can you please provide a simple test extension to see this issue easily? I mean, simplified the contents. Thanks!

Yes I am the author of that "Big Search extension".

I uploaded a simple demo extension.
It's quite simple to reproduce the bug on Firefox 100+ (102 here), as I wrote some comments in the short css code in the zip file

Made a video to show the bug

Thank you garywill for the extension. I could see the issue just once, we need to figure out a reliable way to reproduce the issue.

Okay, the answer was in the video. "Pin to Overflow menu" make it more reproducible, as far as I can tell.

Maybe we need to set screen to a low resolution , to make it more reproducable, when not in overflow menu

I could see the issue just once, we need to figure out a reliable way to reproduce the issue.

Just now I tried Firefox 108.0b1
One of reported the bugs, "In overflow menu", is fixed.
This bugs still exist:

  • When in low resolution screen, or when Firefox window's upper edge is at the center of screen (where the popup won't have enough space to be 600px height), can't scroll to see the bottom of popup
