Popover re-calculates position when content size changes

[philipaarseth]

Hi,

Is there a reason why radix popovers don't simply let CSS recalculate the element position with a translateX(-50%) instead of re-calculating and updating top & left?

Also, why is it not bottom oriented if side is top?

Unless I'm missing something, this approach will lead to UI shake like so:

Hi @philipaarseth, our popper solution will recalculate positioning "live" based on any change in position/size for the target (trigger here) and size for the content.

Also, why is it not bottom oriented if side is top?

Not sure I understand sorry.

If you could create a quick sandbox for reproduction, I'm happy to take a look.
As far as I can tell on my side, I don't see the issue when the height changes:
