Shift middleware with a boundary doesn't respect bondary bottom edge about floating-ui HOT 10 OPEN

The key issue is the clipping algorithm has a bias toward top/left over bottom/right when both sides are clipped (in this case, the root boundary/viewport and element boundary).

• Top screenshot: bottom gets clipped by the root viewport in order to respect the element boundary (biased to top)
• Bottom screenshot: bottom overflows boundary in order to respect the root boundary (again, biased to top)

So in this case, you want the bias not to be toward a side but rather the element boundary, right?

I think you got it right. I would expect that boundary would take precedence over rootBoundary. Yes the rootBoundary should shift the tooltip but only to the edge of the boundary.

Do you think this behavior can be achieved with current version of Floating UI?

Not straightforwardly, it would require custom middleware instead of shift, and using detectOverflow most likely.

It would be great to have this feature, however it's not super ciritcal for me. So feel free to close this issue 🙂

Thanks for the clarification 🙂
