fix(modal): don't clip highlights by root elements whose overflow applies to the viewport - #3556
Conversation
…lies to the viewport `_isScrollable` treated <body> as a scroll container whenever its computed overflow-y was `auto`/`scroll`. But while <html> is `overflow: visible`, body's overflow propagates to the viewport and body's used overflow is `visible`, so it crops nothing. With body sized to the viewport (`height: 100%`), scrolling a target below the initial fold into view moved body's rect off-screen and the overlay opening collapsed to zero height, covering the target it was meant to highlight. <html> is now never treated as a clipper (its overflow always applies to the viewport), and <body> only when <html>'s overflow is not `visible`.

containment on both body and documentElement before returning false; keep body
in the clipping chain when containment disables overflow propagation, even if

When
<html>computesoverflow-x: clipandoverflow-y: visible, this branch still skips<body>. CSS propagates body overflow to the viewport only when both root axes arevisible. If a step target is clipped by a scrolling body,_getScrollParentsomits that clipper, so_getVisibleHeightcan leave the overlay opening outside the body’s clip.Suggested fix

Body's overflow propagates to the viewport only while the root's overflow
is `visible` on both axes. With `html { overflow-x: clip }`, overflow-y
still computes to `visible` but body keeps its own scroll container
(verified in Chromium), so check overflowX too.

Fixes #1984.
Problem
_isScrollabletreats<body>as a scroll container whenever its computedoverflow-yisauto/scroll. But while<html>isoverflow: visible, body's overflow propagates to the viewport, and body's used overflow becomesvisible, so body crops nothing. Once body is sized to the viewport (html, body { height: 100% }, or100vh),scrollToscrolls body's rect off-screen._getVisibleHeightthen clamps the target against that off-screen rect, and the opening collapses to zero height over a fully visible target.Reproduced in Chromium (target 2000px down,
scrollTo: true):html,body{height:100%} body{overflow:auto}{ y: 0, height: 0 }{ y: 0, height: 40 }body{height:100vh;overflow:auto}{ y: 0, height: 0 }{ y: 0, height: 40 }html{overflow:hidden}+ body scrolls (real body scroller)contain: painton bodyThe fix proposed in the issue (
window.scrollY + scrollTop) mixes document and viewport coordinates and would break real nested scroll containers, so this PR fixes the root cause instead.Change
In
_isScrollable(shepherd.js/src/components/shepherd-modal.ts):document.documentElementis never a clipper, because its overflow always applies to the viewport.document.bodyis skipped only when body's overflow actually propagates. That requires all of the following:<html>isoverflow: visibleon both axes.html { overflow-x: clip }alone leavesoverflow-ycomputing tovisible, but body still scrolls itself.<html>nor<body>has acontainvalue other thannone. I tested every keyword, includingstyleandinline-size, and each one stops propagation in Chromium.In every other case body remains a clipper, as before.
This is the root-awareness half of #3484. The rest of #3484 (display-awareness,
overflow: hidden) follows in the stacked #3557.Tests
Unit (
shepherd-modal.spec.js, "root elements"):<html>never clips<html>isn'tvisible, when<html>clips only the other axis, and when either element is containedEach regression case fails without its fix.
Cypress (
root-overflow.cy.js+examples/root-overflow.html, plus a sharedutils/overlay-openings.jsthat reads opening geometry back out of the svg path) covers the real-layout behaviour that happy-dom can't express. CI's Tests job is green.vitest run: 294/294 pass; eslint, prettier, andtscare clean.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
