@burhanQuartic I moved this over to our React repo. Updating where the action menu gets appended may help resolve this by passing something along the lines of popperProps={{appendTo: () => document.body}} (it'd be worth trying to append to an element closer to the trigger than the document body is possible).

Depending on the implementation, if you're using our Dropdown or Select components you could pass that to the outermost element, <Dropdown> or <Select>. or you can pass that to the table's <ActionsColumn>

@thatblindgeye I tried appending it to an element closer to the trigger but that also didn't worked.

@burhanQuartic we merged a PR that should be included in our next version 5 release that should help alleviate the issue. An alternative workaround for now would be to update the appendTo to the document body (rather than as close to the trigger as possible).

[burhanQuartic]

@thatblindgeye we have updated the patternfly version to the latest, but still the issue is there.

[thatblindgeye]

@burhanQuartic can you confirm the version number of @patternfly/react-core that you tested?

[burhanQuartic]

@thatblindgeye we tested on @patternfly/react-core version 5.4.0

Gotcha, was just wondering because we merged a PR that might actually help resolve this issue (tweaking the timeout of our auto-focus logic), and that is part of version 5.4.1
