This is a bug from bug 920546 so asking koi on this one.

I may do a different bug for koi and 1.3, for koi it would be a one-line very safe patch.

I dont have a screenshot right now, will do it soon to help triaging.
STR:
* add enough recipients that the opened recipient panel can scroll
* the last ones should be invalid
* open the recipient panel
* scroll it

Expected:
* the exclamation marks should scroll with the panel

Actual:
* they don't scroll and are even displayed out of their container

The root cause is that they're absolutely positioned but their nearest positioning container is an ancestor of the scrolling panel.

For 1.2, I'll do it as safe as possible adding only a "position: relative" property to the scrolled container.
For 1.3, I'd like to get rid of the absolute positioning that is not necessary here.

see attachment for more information.
Github PR is at https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/14042

* Add "position: relative" for the absolutely positioned marker's nearest
  ancestor.

v1.2 safe patch v1

Review of attachment 8338254 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The fixing is good, but I don't understand "get rid of the absolute positioning that is not necessary here". It seems we only set the absolute positioning here. Do we have over absolute positioning element insdie the recipient?

Attached patch master patch v1 (WIP) (obsolete) — Splinter Review
A github PR is at https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/14046

This solution removes all absolute positioning. However, this triggers bug 943228, so we can't apply it until it's resolved or we find a work around.

Therefore, we might want to use the v1.2 patch on master too until bug 943228 is resolved. Steve, what do you think?

master patch v1 (WIP)

Sounds good that applying v1.2 patch in master temporary because bug 943228 got low priority right now. I'm also good with the patch, maybe we should create another follow-up for the fixing and close this bug with safe one?

Preeti, Joe,

The specific patch I did for 1.2 is very safe (one line) so I'd really want to see it landing on 1.2, because when this happens (we need several recipients) this looks very broken. So very small and safe patch for a good value. We can ask Fabrice if you need an additional technical point of view.

Steve: yep, I think it's better to apply the 1.2 fix to master. Since you've already r+ it, I'll merge it tomorrow after I filed a new bug for follow-ups.

I think we can ask for approval to land on 1.2. I am fine with it 
ni? Fabrice on technical view

I'm officially only sheriffing 1.3, but that looks good to me for 1.2 also!

Nope sorry, I'll land the 1.2 patch on master after discussion with Steve.

And it's not an uplift, I should have landed this myself... Thanks a lot John!
