The issue is discussed on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18521645/integrate-dropdown-angular-strap-with-ng-grid/18522150?noredirect=1#18522150 Basically I created a cell template that displays a dropdown button. When clicking on the button, the menu does not show. The fix is to override `overflow ngCell` property and set it to `visible` instead of `hidden` See http://plnkr.co/edit/LaeuGk
