Hello!

We’ve noticed in the last couple of hours that an issue has arisen regarding the position of the popovers that appears to be also affecting this forum.

If you click on the categories or tags dropdown menu for example, you will see the dropdown appears more central in the page.

Additionally, at least on our forum (https://forum.sketch.com), we have found this issue also affecting the thread notifications popover, tracking popover and dropdown menu’s in the admin section (these appear to be affected even worse).

This issue is visible in any desktop browser - mobile doesn’t appear to be affected.

From what we can tell, it may be related to the inline transform property that’s being applied.
