What happened?

i was trying open the "cover overspending" selection menu for an overspent budgeted item when the width of the web window was only wide enough to show one month in a view, and the menu won't appear. I have to maximise the window or make it big enough so at least 2 months show in a view before the "cover overspending" menu will show up.

here is a video of what happens when I'm trying to open the "cover overspending" menu while the web window is only wide enough to show one month in the budget view.

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Open the actualbudget web app but only open the window as wide to see one budget month in a view (e.g. half a screen wide)
  2. Look for a budget item that is overspent
  3. Click on the overspent amount in the last column
  4. Click on "cover overspending"
  5. Note that the menu won't show.

Ok. I was able to recreate this. I had to adjust my window size so that the budget table was starting to shrink down due to lack of space.
