css - Bootstrap drop down cutting off

Question

I am trying to add a dropdown setting menu to my comments section in a project that I've been working on.

The dropdown menu seems to cut itself off and I am not sure why is that the case.

I tried overflow:visible and z-index:999. but none of them seem to work.

This is a basic comment block that I am trying to include a dropdown in

This is the basic code that I am trying to Implement

<div class="media">
    <a class="pull-left" href="/user/{{shared_scribble.scribble.user.username}}/"><img class="media-object" src="/img.png/"></a>
    <div class="dropdown pull-right">
        <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" style="font-size:10px;padding: 4px 8px;">
            <b data-icon="&#xe001;"></b> <b class="caret"></b>
        </a>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a href="#"><i class="icon-pencil"></i> Edit</a></li>
            <li><a href="#"><i class="icon-trash"></i> Delete</a></li>
            <li><a href="#"><i class="icon-ban-circle"></i> Ban</a></li>
            <li class="divider"></li>
            <li><a href="#"><i class="i"></i> Make admin</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
    <div class="media-body">
        <h4 class="media-heading"><a class="username" href="/user/hi/">Test User</h4>
        <p>
            Main body of the comment
        </p>
    </div>
</div>

And this is how my dropdown menu is turning out to be

media CSS

.media,
.media-body {
  overflow: hidden;
  *overflow: visible;
  zoom: 1;
}
.media,
.media .media {
  margin-top: 15px;
}
.media:first-child {
  margin-top: 0;
}
.media-object {
  display: block;
}
.media-heading {
  margin: 0 0 5px;
}
.media .pull-left {
  margin-right: 10px;
}
.media .pull-right {
  margin-left: 10px;
}
.media-list {
  margin-left: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

Answer 1

Check whether media class is has overflow:hidden. If so, replace it with overflow: auto or overflow: visible.
