If you're experiencing an issue with the mobile version of your Webflow website where the page slides away when scrolling and doesn't return to the centered position, here are some steps you can take to fix it:

  1. Check your "Position" settings: Make sure that the affected element has the correct position setting. In Webflow, you have the option to set an element's position to fixed, absolute, relative, or static. If the element has a fixed or absolute position, it may cause the issue you're facing. Try changing the position to relative or static and see if it resolves the problem.

  2. Review scroll interactions: If you have scroll interactions applied to your website, these can sometimes cause unintended scrolling behavior on mobile devices. Double-check your interactions for any conflicts or overrides that might be affecting the page's positioning. Adjusting or removing these interactions can help resolve the issue.

  3. Test on different mobile devices: The issue you're experiencing might be device-specific. Test your website on multiple mobile devices and screen sizes to see if the issue persists. This will help you determine if the problem is caused by a specific device or if it occurs across different mobile platforms.

  4. Disable third-party scripts: If you have any custom or third-party scripts running on your site, try disabling them one by one to identify if any of them are causing the issue. Sometimes, external scripts can interfere with the default scrolling behavior and cause unexpected scrolling.

  5. Clear browser cache: Clearing your mobile browser cache can often resolve rendering issues and refresh the website's settings. Instruct your users to clear their browser cache when accessing your website to ensure they are viewing the latest version.

  6. Reach out to Webflow support: If you have tried all the above steps and the issue persists, it may be necessary to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They can investigate your specific website setup and help you troubleshoot the problem more accurately.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue with the mobile version of your Webflow website where the page slides away when scrolling and doesn't return to the centered position.
