Hello dsmart, welcome to trac.
There is no need to patch RTL files - they are automatically created in the build process.

overflow: visible doesn't work because the view needs to be scrollable. 31987.2.diff is another approach. Side effect: The scroll bar will overlay the search container.

@Ocean90 I see what you mean now. (ignore the third diff - duplicate)

Here's a solution that involves wrapping the widget list in its own element: 31987.4.diff

This way scrolling is contained so it doesn't overflow over the search input area.

31987.4.diff overlays the header on narrow screen / controls-only view, which blocks the close button. The autofocus-keyboard-flyup is also infuriating, we should probably address that while we're in here.

31987.5.diff - No longer hides close button on narrow screens.

31987.6.diff - Does the same, plus it removes the initial .focus() event from the text input, which will succeed in not activating the keyboard on mobile.

In 32243:

Customizer: Better experience for widget filtering in desktop and iOS Safari.

Previously, the search field did not appear at all in desktop Safari, and the auto-focus keyboard fly-up in iOS rendered widget adding frustrating at best.

props dsmart, ocean90.
fixes #31987.

A note that this does now make the search field fixed/always visible in controls-only mode (e.g. portrait phone), which is a little bit of a change but something we can address post-4.2 if it really does present as an issue. My personal take is that it is not really an issue, or at least not more than any other number of issues we have in the touch+narrow screen context.
