# Issue:
I entered [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) on mobile view. While replying to a post, the editor has the cog option at the end. When I tap it, the `d-editor-button-bar` becomes vertically scrollable instead of displaying a dropdown of the extra options.
I’m assuming a dropdown box should appear? I’m getting this same issue on meta too.

edit: I can reproduce with chrome 103 on android on meta
it’s probably fairly new, I don’t see it on 2.9.0.beta6 ( [09f1ef6b05](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/09f1ef6b05a15b552ad022b43187c813d5ea3a90) )

I was just checking myself. 🙂 I can replicate on Android/Chrome:

I can reproduce on desktop too with non staff account. On desktop it works for me with admin and moderator account.
On mobile it seems to the [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) not required to repro this issue.

The menu is positioned differently on desktop (`position: fixed`) vs mobile (`position: absolute`) so because of 🧙 CSS magic ✨ the `overflow-x: auto;` on the `.d-editor-button-bar` container was hiding the menu on mobile but has no effect on desktop.
That `overflow-x: auto;` property fixes this issue on desktop:
I just added a fix that shows the menu again on mobile by removing `overflow-x: auto;`
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/d8714facb605e1ec8fc5f2021b2551a0fce51e18](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/d8714facb605e1ec8fc5f2021b2551a0fce51e18)
We’ll have to figure out if we can change positioning or do something else to solve the toolbar overflow issue on mobile.
