Update: Allow color gradient popover to be above the color toggle #37430

Conversation

This PR allows the color popover to be above the color buttons if there is no space below. Disables the position forcing and allows us to take advantage of the popover automatic position mechanism.

How has this been tested?

I made the window height equal to 700px.
I added a group block.
I opened the background color picker and verified the popover appears above and is completely visible as the screenshot shows.

This is cool, it solved the issue for me for the first level of popover but I still see the same issue for the second level (custom color picker)

A fix was applied for the second level popovers 👍

This is very cool. There's only one left issue with the custom color picker, if the size of the window is very small, its height is adapted but the scrollbars are not shown causing a weird issue.

I made a CSS update to include the scroll.

Sometimes I get vertical scrollbars too

But this PR is in a very good state I think. I'd love some testing from folks here @jasmussen maybe

Generally nice work, and it's probably good to land as an improvement.

Longer term, I'd love to see some of the CSS reduced and simplified to rely less on media queries and positioning, but I also recognize that's a larger endeavour. Just to say, I look forward to the day we can get to that!

  • Good idea of "unfolding leftward". I assume it works as intended in RTL as well with the autoRTL?

  • For gradients, you lose the immediate graphical context of the popover opening near the handle:
    Screenshot 2021-12-17 at 18 27 15
    Perhaps we can improve this with a much clearer focus state for the selected gradient handle?

  • The space between the flyout and the subsequent color picker is a bit large:
    Screenshot 2021-12-17 at 18 27 25
    I understand that this is meant to be the same space as between the itemgroup and the color panel initially, but since that has to cross the edge of the sidebar, we can halve it between swatches and color picker, since there isn't a sidebar boundary to cross.

There are a number of smaller issues when testing this thoroughly. Because those issues are almost certainly present in trunk already, they probably shouldn't block this PR.

  • The edge-to-edge color picker can rather easily blend into the background:
    Screenshot 2021-12-17 at 18 26 41
    I recognize that design is intentional and it looks beautiful on other backgrounds:
    Screenshot 2021-12-17 at 18 34 23
    But when the flyout has a border, the missing border on the color panel opening from it feels a bit stark. This mostly tells me there's an opportunity to look holistically at both flyouts and popover designs, and unify those.
  • Finally, I can make a scrollbar appear by putting the color picker towards the right of the popover:
    Screenshot 2021-12-17 at 18 27 40
    Probably there's an overflow: auto; somewhere that needs to be visible instead.

The solution for the scroll caused other issues and seemed to do more harm than good. I removed the scroll fix but added a CSS rule that keeps the popover rendered as expected although if the screen is very small some parts may be hidden (in practice I think it will not be replicated unless one intentionally make the window very very small).

Thank you for the reviews @youknowriad and @jasmussen.
I will try to follow up with some fixes for issues @jasmussen mentioned.
