General Troubleshooting Steps:
Update your packages - Make sure you're running recent versions of sanity and @sanity/ui. Many popover-related bugs have been fixed in recent releases:
npm install sanity@latest @sanity/ui@latestCheck your browser console - Open DevTools and look for JavaScript errors or warnings when you try to open the popover. This often reveals the specific issue.
Clear browser cache - Sometimes cached CSS or JavaScript can cause rendering problems. Try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R).
Test in a different browser - This helps identify if it's browser-specific.
If You're Using Custom CSS:
If you've added custom styles to your Studio, check for:
overflow: hidden or overflow: auto on parent containers (these can clip popovers)z-index values that might be covering popoversIf You're Building Custom Components:
If you're using Sanity UI components in custom plugins or input components, make sure you've wrapped your app with the ThemeProvider from @sanity/ui and that all peer dependencies are correctly installed.
