Research direction
The issue is already assigned, so check with the assignee before proceeding. The fix likely involves adjusting the height or overflow property of the scrollable container in the settings page. Look at the Chromium source for the 'content/all' settings page, possibly in brave/browser/resources/settings/ or the relevant Chromium override.
