Apps: Dropdowns unresponsive to clicks outside iframe

Dropdowns inside apps do not close when you click anywhere outside the frame. The click never reaches the Sigma document, so the dropdown stays open and the app feels unresponsive.

Possible approaches:

  • Cross-iframe event messaging so outside clicks are forwarded into the embed.

  • Detect mouseleave on the iframe and signal the embed to dismiss open overlays.

This affects every Sigma-backed app in the platform, not one specific app.

What is happening or what is neededDropdowns in Sigma apps embedded within an iframe do not respond to clicks made outside the frame boundary, leading to an unresponsive user experience.
Walk us through it step by step1. Navigate to any app. 2. Open a dropdown menu within the app. 3. Click anywhere outside the iframe boundary. Expected: The dropdown should close or respond to the click. Actual: The dropdown remains open and does not respond to clicks outside the iframe.
