Bootstrap 4: Why popover inside scrollable dropdown doesn't show?

I want this to work just like Bootstrap 3. When I have a dropdown with scrollbar on hover popover, and I think there is a problem with Bootstrap 4. I need overflow:hidden; to make the dropdown scroll, but the popover is hidden too. I tried to use container:'body' but it didn't work.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover({
    html: true,
    container: 'body'
  });
});

.dropdown-menu{
	height: 150px;
	overflow: hidden;
	overflow-y: auto
}

There are some issues with popper.js, and how it positions dropdowns, popovers and tooltips. The solution is to set the data-boundary option on the popovers to window...

Demo on Codeply

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover({
  });
});

.dropdown-menu{
	height: 150px;
	overflow: hidden;
	overflow-y: auto
}
