Summary

Fixes #5468

The facet filter values were overlapping adjacent filters in Safari due to missing overflow containment in the search filter wrapper.

Changes

  • Added overflow: hidden to .search-filter-wrapper in search-filter.component.scss
  • Removed the conditional &.closed class since overflow should always be hidden

Root Cause

Safari has known issues with flexbox overflow handling. When facet filters were expanded, the facet values inside the flex container could overflow and overlap adjacent filters because there was no overflow containment.

Testing

  1. Open a results list with facet filters
  2. Open any filter with facet values on Safari
  3. Verify that opened facet values display without overlapping other filters

Screenshots

Before: Facet values overlap adjacent filters
After: Facet values are contained within the filter wrapper

Fixes DSpace#5468

The facet filter values were overlapping adjacent filters in Safari
due to missing overflow containment. Adding overflow:hidden to the
.search-filter-wrapper ensures facet values are properly contained
within their container, preventing layout overlap.

Before fix: facet values would overflow and overlap other filters on Safari
After fix: facet values are contained within the filter wrapper

LGTM. Clean fix targeting Safari flexbox overflow issue. The root cause (missing overflow containment in flex container) is well explained. CSS-only change is minimal and safe.
