Must be missing something. Where does this ref get attached?

I was wondering if this one is working specifically because it isn't attached to anything, so it overrides the Popover's default positioning?

Yeah this is unusual, I would also expect this ref to be attached to an element

Why do we need the first child?

Thanks for the ping. Just linking another potentially related PR in #42971 from @ciampo, which is related to Popover positions, where it attempts to use the parent node if one isn't provided, in order to provide an anchorRef. Could that be why a new ref is required here, if the parent it's getting winds up being the root of the document (I'm not sure if that's what's going on, but just from looking at the Before video) 🤔

Thank you for the ping!

Without an explicit anchor, as @andrewserong mentioned, the Popover component uses its parent as the anchor (noting that this has always been the behavior of the component — #40740 introduced a regression that was fixed in #42971).

In this case, though, this menu is using the Dropdown component under the hood, which does its own handling of the anchor — in particular, the Popover is anchored to the toggle (i.e the button) by default (and not to its parent)

anchorRef={
! hasAnchorRef
? containerRef?.current?.firstChild // Anchor to the rendered toggle.
: undefined
}

I believe that what's happening on trunk is:

  • dropdown is attached to the button (i.e its anchor)
  • when switching that preference option, the button's contents are replaced
  • this change of anchor messes up with the Popover placement

I see two alternatives:

  • passing an explicit anchor, pointing at a "stable" element that won't change when that option is switched (which looks like the approach that is being attempted for now)
  • close the popover when the preferences modal is opened

  • dropdown is attached to the button (i.e its anchor)
  • when switching that preference option, the button's contents are replaced
  • this change of anchor messes up with the Popover placement

I looked a bit more into this, and this is what I believe is happening:

  • The MoreMenu component enables/disables the dropdown button's tooltip when text labels are disabled/enabled (code)
  • The Button component conditionally renders its contents in a Tooltip component depending on the showTooltip prop (code)
  • The Tooltip component internally does a bunch of complex operations (including cloning elements, piping events etc) (code)
  • The result is that, when flipping that switch in the preferences modal, the Popover refers as its anchor a button element that is not in the DOM anymore 😅
  • This can be confirmed by the fact commenting out this line removes the bug

I put together a quick Storybook example for the DropdownMenu component and I was able to reproduce the issue:

To recap:

To fix this bug properly, we would need to:

  • Rework the Tooltip component (that is planned but not going to happen soon) and/or
  • Try to fix this at the DropdownMenu level (although I haven't looked into it yet)

Otherwise, we could get around the problem in a few ways:

  • stop toggling the tooltip (i.e always show it, or never show it)
  • pass an explicit anchor, pointing at a parent element of the button/tooltip toggle that will stay "stable" in the DOM
  • close the popover when the preferences modal is opened

Opened an attempt at fixing the problem directly in the Dropdown component:
