If you're experiencing an unwanted scroll on your Webflow website caused by an expandable gallery with additional pictures, there are a few steps you can take to fix this issue:

Check the height: First, make sure that the height of the expandable gallery is set to accommodate all the pictures within it. If the height is not set correctly, it can cause the gallery to extend beyond the visible area and trigger the unwanted scroll.
Adjust the overflow: Check the settings for the element that contains the expandable gallery. In the Styles panel, navigate to the overflow property under the Positioning tab. By default, it is set to "visible." Change it to "hidden" to prevent any content from overflowing and triggering the unwanted scroll.
Review interaction triggers: If you have any interactions or animations applied to the expandable gallery, check the settings for the interaction triggers. Make sure that they are not causing any unintended scrolling behavior. For example, if you have an interaction set to trigger when scrolling into view, it may interfere with the expected behavior of the gallery.
Test on different devices: Sometimes, the unwanted scroll issue may only appear on specific devices or screen sizes. Test your website on different devices and screen sizes to identify if it is a responsiveness issue. Use the Webflow responsive preview or tools like Google Chrome's developer tools to emulate different devices.
Inspect custom code: If you have added any custom code to your website, particularly JavaScript code that affects scrolling behavior, review it to ensure that it is not causing the issue. Check for any conflicts or errors that may interfere with the expected behavior of the expandable gallery.
Contact Webflow support: If you have followed the above steps and the issue persists, it may be beneficial to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They have extensive knowledge of the platform and can provide guidance on how to resolve the unwanted scroll issue specific to your website.

Remember to test your changes thoroughly after implementing any fixes to ensure the issue has been resolved.
