Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] set element as document scrolling element (#4710) from Šime Vidas via GitHub on 2023-06-06 (public-css-archive@w3.org from June 2023)

This should work:

```css
.menu.is-open {
  overflow: auto;
  overscroll-behavior: contain;
}
```

The reason why it doesn’t work is because browsers don’t follow the specification:

We’re in a weird situation. Web developers want a common-sense behavior (prevent page from scrolling when hovering modal dialog), the CSS specs provide a simple solution for this behavior, but none of the three major browser engines implement this behavior correctly.
