As per comment 10 in bug 1609942:
- when the inspector is dragged all the way up and the menu cannot be contained it is displayed as prior to this patch(over the evaluation preview);
- when the DevTools is docked to right/left and the input is on the first rows the menu is displayed over the preview as well, until there is enough space for the menu to be displayed above;
- with DevTools undocked, moving the window all the way up-top the side of the screen causes the same issue;
While this is not a buggy behavior, it might be something that can be improved in the future. A few ideas that come to mind:
- having the menu size adjusted based on the number of entries that would take to fit in the available space;
- having the menu be displayed bellow the preview (but that might be confusing at first).
