As reported here https://meta.discourse.org/t/site-setting-menu-limited-by-resul…ts-page-size/372904 If you filter the 'all site settings' list and try to scroll down, you're limited by the height of the settings... and can't scroll down to reach other categories. Can't scroll past "backups" here: <img height="500" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/08f7543f-e704-415d-9191-4ce2551fef27" /> This is because of how overflow is hidden and the menu is absolutely positioned. This PR adds a new wrapper and applies flex so the menu doesn't have to be absolutely positioned and gets included in the height calculation... so now we can scroll fully: <img height="500" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bd7654c3-f6c0-42b8-aa27-043300ae4075" /> This menu needs more refactoring in general, but at least makes it more usable on mobile.
