Block Configuration drop down menu hidden in small blocks.

I think that the only way to fix this is to use logic like this within the js:

on open block_context_menu{ parent_block.css('min-height', height of menu + 10px); }
on close block_context_menu{ parent_block.css('min-height', auto); }

Something like that ... anyone have any better ideas?

component

actually ... in Bartik, if we remove the #footer .block { overflow:hidden; } then this problem is moot for this specific example. Is there a reason why we have that style?

For a more general solution we'd need to

1. make sure no blocks have hidden:overflow (unless we can garuntee that the block's height is always greater than the contextual menu's height
2. attempt the js solution suggested in #2
3. mystery solution? Anyone? Anyone?
