Description

Environment

  • Package version(s): @blueprintjs/core: 3.13.0
  • Browser and OS versions: MacOS 10.14.2, Chrome Version 72.0.3626.96 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Question

We have a requirement to have multiple drawers open at once, say top and bottom header/footer editors. However they both open with their own portals. Even though it's transparent, the footer portal covers the header drawer, swallowing all interaction events.

How can we configure the drawers to ensure they're both interact-able?

Research direction
Investigate the Drawer component's implementation of portals in @blueprintjs/core (likely in drawer.tsx). Determine if multiple drawers can coexist by adjusting portal container stacking or using different portal targets. Check the existing issue comments for workarounds or maintainer responses.
