fix(ui): add viewport height floor to DialogContent - #2328
Conversation
DialogContent sets no max-height and no overflow, so every dialog has to remember to cap its own height. The overlay centres content vertically with flex items-center, so a dialog taller than the viewport overflows both edges at once with no scroll container to reach either one. 25 of 60 DialogContent usages currently pass no height class at all. Cap at calc(100dvh-2rem) with overflow-y-auto as a floor. Dialogs that already pass flex + max-h + an inner scroll area keep their existing sticky-footer behaviour, since tailwind-merge resolves the conflict in favour of the caller.

Greptile SummaryThis PR adds a viewport-relative maximum height and vertical scrolling to the shared
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge, with no concrete blocking or independently actionable non-blocking issue identified. The shared dialog now constrains oversized content to the dynamic viewport and allows it to scroll, while later caller classes continue to preserve specialized dialog layouts.

CSS overflow scroll container absolutely positioned descendant scrolls with content position absolute containing block overflow specification
💡 Result:
When an element is absolutely positioned, its containing block is determined by the nearest ancestor with a position other than static (i.e., relative, absolute, fixed, or sticky) [1]. If an element with overflow: auto or scroll also serves as this positioning ancestor, it establishes the containing block for its absolutely positioned descendants [2][3]. By default, an absolutely positioned descendant is anchored to the local containing block of the scroll container [3]. This means that when the container scrolls, the absolutely positioned element scrolls along with the container's content [4][3]. Technical specifications define how scroll containers interact with absolute positioning: 1. Local Containing Block: This is the default. It corresponds to the padding box of the scroll container and is affixed to the scrollable overflow area, meaning the element scrolls with the content [3]. 2. Fixed Containing Block: This corresponds to the scrollport (the padding box edges). It remains stationary relative to the container itself and does not scroll with the contents [3]. 3. Scrollable Containing Block: This corresponds to the padding edge of the scrollable overflow area itself, encompassing the scrollable area [3]. If you need an absolutely positioned element to be anchored to a specific part of your layout without being clipped or forced to scroll by the overflow container, you can move the positioning ancestor (the element with position: relative) out of the scroll container to a grandparent or another parent element [4][5]. Alternatively, if the element needs to "break out" of the scroll container entirely, you may need to use position: fixed (which anchors to the viewport) or adjust the layout to use a non-overflowing container for positioning [4][6]. The behavior where an absolutely positioned element is "trapped" by a scrolling parent occurs specifically because that parent serves as the nearest ancestor with a non-static position [1]. Removing the position property from the scrolling container—or placing the positioning anchor outside of it—will cause the absolutely positioned element to escape that container's coordinate system [4][5].

Keep the close control reachable after scrolling.
DialogPrimitive.Close can scroll out of view because DialogPrimitive.Content is both its positioned ancestor and the scroll container. Keep the close control outside the scrollable area or make it sticky.

DialogPrimitive.Content layout so the DialogPrimitive.Close control remains

…pace Upstream looplj#2328 made the shared DialogContent a scroll container (max-h + overflow-y-auto). In the channel dialog, Radix form-control bubble inputs (hidden native inputs for RadioGroup/Select) are position:absolute anchored to the dialog itself because every wrapper in between is static, stretching its scrollable area ~1900px below the footer - dragging the outer scrollbar reveals blank space. The collapsed side panel content (absolute while hidden) also poked out ~180px horizontally, adding a horizontal scrollbar. Anchor the hidden elements back into their own scroll containers (relative on the provider list, form area and panel wrapper) and keep the dialog itself non-scrollable with overflow-hidden; it already manages its own 90vh layout with inner scroll areas.
Since looplj#2328 the shared DialogContent is a scroll container (max-h + overflow-y-auto), so a dialog that manages its own 90vh layout has to opt out with overflow-hidden - every other fixed-height dialog already does. Without it, a window shorter than ~520px makes the dialog's min-content (description, alert, inheritance switch, add-rule button and footer add up to ~472px) exceed h-[90vh]. The dialog itself then becomes the scroll container: the title scrolls out of view and blank space shows up below the footer. Keep the dialog non-scrollable; the rules list and the preview list already scroll on their own, and the body still scrolls as a single area on mobile.
Summary
DialogContentsets nomax-heightand nooverflow, so every dialog has to remember to cap its own height. The overlay centres content vertically (fixed inset-0 flex items-center), so a dialog taller than the viewport overflows both edges at once, and because nothing scrolls, neither the title nor the footer buttons can be reached — the user has to zoom the browser out to interact with it.This was fixed once per-dialog in a240989 (model settings, #1716), but the underlying gap is still there: 25 of 60

Measured with Playwright against the real compiled Tailwind output, using the repo's actual class strings resolved through
tailwind-merge(so thegrid/flexconflict resolves exactly ascn()does), the realCardcomponent classes and real zh-CN copy. An element counts as unreachable only if it is still outside the viewport after scrolling every scrollable ancestor.Regression check — the settings dialog (already
flex+ inner scroll) is unchanged on all four viewports: samedisplay, same computedmax-height, same reachability. Also verified with 12 cards of content, which still scrolls end to end.Toolchain matching

Notes
Touches a component used by 60 call sites, so it carries more blast radius than its one-line diff suggests — worth reviewing separately from any dialog-specific change. The per-dialog
max-hclasses already in the tree stay valid and take precedence; this only changes behaviour for dialogs that specify nothing.Refs #1716
