Categories dropdown overlapping on admin block-patterns area

[ramizmanked]

When you scroll through block patterns list (Add block -> Patterns), Categories dropdown is overlapping block search bar and block type tabs above (screencast attached).

Hi @ramizmanked

First update WordPress to 5.7.

1- Deactivate all plugins on the site that has the problem and see if the error goes away. If it does then we know it is a plugin conflict. Turn on each plugin at a time and see when the error returns. When you figure out which plugin that has the error. Contact the plugin developer by going to their WordPress plugin repository and write a post in the support forum.

2- If the error still remains after turning off all the plugins then switch to a default theme such as Twenty Twenty or Twenty Twenty One. If the error goes away then it seems like a theme problem. Contact the theme creator.

If the error is still seen after deactivating all plugins and switching to a default theme.
Then let us know which browser you are using.

An example.
I tested with WordPress 5.7. Twenty Twenty One theme. Gutenberg plugin 10.3.2.
In Chrome (also tested in Safari). I clicked the inserter. Clicked the pattern drop down. Then tried to scroll, but was not able to.
Since I tested Chrome and Safari and could not encounter the error. It seems likely that you have experienced a plugin error.

Thanks, @paaljoachim!

I'll double check the issue with the steps you mentioned and let you know what I find. Thank you!

@paaljoachim - The issue seems to be still exist with fresh WordPress install as well.

Here is my setup:

• Browser: Google Chrome Version 89.0.4389.128
• WordPress: 5.7.1
• Active Theme: Twenty Twenty-One

My guess is the issue arise only after changing the Block Pattern category dropdown initially.

Here is the link to a quick screencast(​https://vimeo.com/538046001) that replicates an issue.

As a related issue was opened on Gutenberg's Repository, I'm closing this issue as reported upstream.

Hey @ramizmanked

It looks like this might have been fixed in the Gutenberg plugin 10.5 RC.
​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/releases/tag/v10.5.0-rc.1

Retesting with WordPress 5.7.1. Gutenberg plugin 10.5 RC. Twenty Twenty One.

Following the procedure here: ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/30947 I am not able to reproduce. Please retest and let us know.
Thank you!

I went ahead and closed the Github Gutenberg issue. As I mentioned there. The issue can always be reopened if need be. Have a great day!
