Bug: Button Tooltips in the Icons Page is hidden due to `Overflow: hidden` in the Parent container

Bug description

  1. Open the font awesome website and select icons in the navigation bar.
  2. Search for any icon using the search bar.
  3. In the section where you can select the grid styling (compact, grid, list) a small tooltip arrow is shown.
  4. The button tool tip arrow does not display properly as the parent container has the style attribute overflow: hidden

To fix this bug, remove the overflow: hidden styling on the parent container element. The styling is added to the element as an inline style.

Reproducible test case

I'm not too sure how I would do this this. Apologies.

Screenshots

Hover over the button to show the tooltip.
