We use "colourInput" from the package "colourpicker" in a shinyApp for picking various colours.

When the colourInput is used by itself (# example 1 below), the widget pops up in the app and everything works fine (image 1 in attached figure)

It still works when we use splitLayout with the homemade "split_color_input" function (# example 2 below). However, the widget is now "hidden" inside a scroll-bar window (image 2 in attached figure). How can we Bring it to Front like in example 1?
