This has been a frustration for a long time. I think I’ve seen older topics about this and I’ve mentioned it in a ‘office hours’ stream too but it still hasn’t been fixed…

If you have a component (like a navbar) with a dropdown (like many navbars) that falls outside your component, you can not click on it to edit text, etc.

Can this bug please be fixed soon??

Hey @nealzie 👋

I’m not sure what you mean. Is it that, in your first screenshot, you can’t select “Third-party integrations” to edit the text for example?

If you haven’t already, would you mind creating a bug ticket [here](https://support.weweb.io/?category=bug)? I highly recommend this approach because then you can follow the progression of the ticket.

If you’ve already opened a ticket, feel free to share the ID with me and I can take a look to see if it got lost in our process.
