Felix and I work in the same organization. We figured
out that the reason the submenu was getting cut off was due to the overflow property of
xwikipanelcontents being set as hidden in colibri.css (that is the skin we are using).
When we set it to visible, the submenu worked beautifully.
We can share the tweak we did in the QuickLinks panel, and the associated style sheet
overrides once we get it rolled out into our wiki.
The overflow: hidden is set intentionally, so that extra long content
doesn't overflow, breaking the layout.

Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Dropdown Menu on Panel cut off
Hi Felix,
[snip]
This happens because the menu and submenu
are part of the Panel document (SpaceLinks), so the extended submenu can't
appear out of this panel document.
No. I think you're mixing the notion
of an HTML document with the notion
of an
XWiki document. Even though the
panels are separate XWiki
documents, when
a page is rendered the HTML
representation of the panels
and the HTML
representation of the page content
are included in the same
HTML document.
I think you just have to play
with the CSS (position, z-index) as
Jeremie said.
Hope this
helps,
Marius
