What is happening seems to be this: - the panel-body is set to 100% height of the menu-panel - that height includes the 14px of padding (0.5em on top and bottom) that is on the menu-panel - the result is that the bottom 14px of the panel-body is clipped If you temporarily get rid of the padding from the menu-panel you will see that it gets rid of the clipping. Doing something like the following basically solves the problem, but there should be a more straightforward way: `$panelBody.height('calc(100% - 1em)');` The padding on the menu-panel is still being cut off at the bottom of the screen. I think a lot of these positioning issues would be easier if Discourse was using the border-box box model. Iā€™ve submitted a PR that is along these lines, but better. ---

Integrating notifications into the user menu is a lot cleaner UI-wise; the only complaint Iā€™ve heard from members is that there isnā€™t a direct link to Messages in either the hamburger menu or the user menu. The only access they have is through their own profiles, which seems like an unnecessary hassle. ---

There is a link in the user menu: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/5/45725449cab365d7574691db12071365be1981bd.png) ---

It says my Discourse installation is up-to-date in the ACP, but Iā€™m not seeing it. [http://puu.sh/k1Yr9/eec82d03fd.png](http://puu.sh/k1Yr9/eec82d03fd.png) ---

That is because you are on the latest beta but are several commits ahead. Visit admin/upgrade to get the newer changes ---

I have a similar issue. I donā€™t even have any extra icons in the top right, but the notification is showing over on the left of the search button. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/6/565861afc55936386a9c3a984e79e4aefb5ea7a5.png) ---

Iā€™m really liking these changes, but thereā€™s one thing thatā€™s bugging me a bitā€¦ ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/6/4/d/64de2d8b3839176a74519e393a62ac4a400b393c.png) Would it be possible to move these buttons up to the top row (at least the glyphs)? Itā€™ll make it look more balanced, especially compared to the new user menu. ---

They do get moved up to the top row once you read the FAQ. ---

Also keep in mind, this would only balance the design for admins, end users would still have a missing row there. If we are doing a small icon treatment there I think we should pick something that is generally useful, but I am not convinced anything really fits there. ---

Uhmā€¦ since Discourse has a minimum browser requirement of 14, hereā€™s a small catch: on FF 17 ESR, the categories are oddly misaligned: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/2/e/2e3d0cc9d4aaf04f26192e90f7e366abf41f83ca.png) ---

Removing `.badge-wrapper.bullet span.badge-category {display: inline-block;}` fixes it for FF 17. It might cause problems elsewhere though. ---

Cool, thanks @simon - hope that fix gets picked up soonā€¦ ā€¦and hereā€™s another šŸ› Currently, if the categories list is sufficiently long, you cannot scroll the šŸ” dropdown far enough to click on ā€œDesktop viewā€ - scrolling stops before the text of that link becomes visible, rendering that function useless. `.ember-view .menu-panel .slide-in` is simply some pixels too high. ---

The scrollbar in the profile menu is still bugging me. Can we do something about it? I see it on desktop ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/6/36ef9648f11f91cd09dc0d26af9b783a2f0afc57.png) and mobile (Chrome / Android 5) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/b/3b2875d24ed573de672f465e95fd4d8114afeca0.png) ---

The ā€œlog outā€ option is only presented if youā€™ve received at least one notification already. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/7/e7103841d5a64d6506dbf8c090b25b665d083fb3.png) ---

Are you sure? As it doesnā€™t look like that is a constraint. Do you have the site setting enabled to show it? ---

Iā€™ve adjusted the logic that estimates how many notifications to show to try and reduce scrollbars from appearing. I also found an issue with the DOM Mutation observer that I fixed. I think youā€™ll be less likely to see scrollbars now. ---

Seems to be a little bit better, but I usually still get scrollbars on mobile and desktop. Does the logic include the height used by the Log Out link? ---

It does, itā€™s based on the mutation of the elements. Anything in the DOM that changes will cause a recalculation. Does it look like it can fit but canā€™t? Itā€™s more likely it just canā€™t fit. I am still working on stuff a bit though. ---

Well, this is what it looks like on my desktop here on meta: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/5/15685ee412e6160f8b4be4d3c84290a0bf142eae.png) Thatā€™s a lot of notifications and the only reason for the scrollbar is the Log Out link. Iā€™d rather have one less notification in order to get rid of the scrollbar.
