Bootstrap modal with inline TinyMCE drop-down menu items misaligned

Question

I'm using inline TinyMCE inside a bootstrap modal and when opening a drop-down menu item e.g.:"Formats", the items are shown aligned to the top-left corner of the page, instead of appearing where they should.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

There's yet another problem with inserting links, when you click on the link menu item, it opens the TinyMCE model but it doesn't let you input anything on the inputs.

Found solution for this last problem with this: tinyMCE in a bootstrap dialog.

Repro on this js fiddle.

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'h2.editable',
  inline: true,
  toolbar: 'undo redo',
  menubar: false
});

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'div.editable',
  inline: true,
  plugins: [
    'advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview anchor',
    'searchreplace visualblocks code fullscreen',
    'insertdatetime media table contextmenu paste'
  ],
  toolbar: 'insertfile undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image',
  content_css: [
    '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,300i,400,400i',
    '//www.tinymce.com/css/codepen.min.css'
  ]
});

h2.mce-content-body {
  font-size: 200%;
  padding: 0 25px 0 25px;
  margin: 10px 0 10px 0;
}

body {
  background: transparent;
}

.content {
  overflow: visible;
  position: relative;
  width: auto;
  margin-left: 0;
  min-height: auto;
  padding: inherit;
}

Answer 1

It seems to be a problem with tabindex="-1" attribute on the modal. If you remove it, it will work like expected.

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'h2.editable',
  inline: true,
  toolbar: 'undo redo',
  menubar: false
});

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'div.editable',
  inline: true,
  plugins: [
    'advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview anchor',
    'searchreplace visualblocks code fullscreen',
    'insertdatetime media table contextmenu paste'
  ],
  toolbar: 'insertfile undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image',
  content_css: [
    '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,300i,400,400i',
    '//www.tinymce.com/css/codepen.min.css'
  ]
});

h2.mce-content-body {
  font-size: 200%;
  padding: 0 25px 0 25px;
  margin: 10px 0 10px 0;
}

body {
  background: transparent;
}

.content {
  overflow: visible;
  position: relative;
  width: auto;
  margin-left: 0;
  min-height: auto;
  padding: inherit;
}
