When closing the menu shifts up and to the left by ~5-10px, causing a jitter?

When closing the menu shifts up and to the left by ~5-10px, causing a jitter?

This is actually an effect of another issue: when useScrollLock is applied, it changes the body styles setting position: relative and box-sizing: border-box. The experiment page uses default styles for the body, so when the scroll lock is removed, the reference for the menu's positioner changes, causing the shift. This might be less of an issue in real applications, as most often, default margin/padding will be removed from the html and body elements (@colmtuite, correct me if I'm wrong).

I'll style the body element to fix the issue here.

For the record - this is how it currently looks:

In order to fix #1343 on the body easily, we need to use mounted not open state to apply the scroll lock. That would also prevent this from being visible?

[michaldudak]

It would prevent this exact problem, but all the other absolutely positioned elements on the page that only have statically positioned parents will be affected (they will shift when a popup opens and after it disappears), as in https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/headless-cloud-8s744f?file=%2Fsrc%2FApp.tsx%3A11%2C65.

One option to prevent this from happening would be to teach developers to set up a positioning context on the .Root element (add position: relative to styles.css in https://base-ui.com/react/overview/quick-start#set-up-portals). We can set position: relative on default portal containers ourselves.
