There could be several reasons why the "Disable scroll offset when fixed" option in the Webflow Navbar is not working correctly. Here are some possible causes and their corresponding solutions:

  1. Incorrect settings: Double-check your settings to make sure you have correctly enabled the "Disable scroll offset when fixed" option. To do this, select your Navbar element, go to the settings panel on the right, and under the "Position" section, make sure that the "Disable scroll offset when fixed" option is checked.

  2. Overlapping elements: If there are other elements on the page that overlap with the Navbar, it can interfere with the scroll offset behavior. Check if there are any elements, such as a sticky header or a fixed position element, that might be conflicting with the Navbar's behavior. Try adjusting the z-indexes or removing such elements to see if it resolves the issue.

  3. Custom code conflicts: If you have added custom code to your project, especially JavaScript code that controls the scroll behavior, it is possible that there is a conflict with the Navbar's "Disable scroll offset" functionality. Review your custom code and check if there are any event listeners or functions that manipulate the scroll behavior. Temporarily disable any relevant code snippets and test if the Navbar behaves as expected.

  4. Browser-specific issues: Some browsers may have different interpretations of the "Disable scroll offset" functionality. Test the website in different browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge to see if the problem persists across all of them. If the issue is browser-specific, you may need to find alternative solutions or use JavaScript/jQuery to achieve the desired behavior.

  5. Bugs or limitations in the Webflow platform: It is possible that the issue is caused by a bug or limitation within the Webflow platform itself. To rule out this possibility, contact Webflow support or consult their user community to see if others have experienced similar issues. Webflow regularly updates their platform, so it's worth checking if there are any known issues related to the "Disable scroll offset" feature.

By troubleshooting these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve any issues with the "Disable scroll offset when fixed" in the Webflow Navbar feature.
