Yes, there is a way to prevent the janky animation caused by the removal of the scrollbar in the fullscreen nav-menu in Webflow. The janky animation occurs when the scrollbar disappears, causing the content to jump slightly to the left to fill the empty space left by the scrollbar. To prevent this, you can use CSS to override the default behavior.

Here's how you can prevent the janky animation in a fullscreen nav-menu in Webflow:

  1. Open the project in the Webflow Designer.
  2. Navigate to the page where the fullscreen nav-menu is located.
  3. Select the fullscreen nav-menu element.
  4. In the right-hand panel, click on the "Settings" tab.
  5. Scroll down until you find the "Custom Code" section.
  6. Click on the "Head Code" option.
  7. Inside the <style> tags, add the following CSS code:
body {  padding-right: 0 !important;  overflow: hidden;}body:after {  content: "";  position: fixed;  width: 100%;  height: 100vh;  top: 0;  right: 0;  bottom: 0;  left: 0;  overflow-y: scroll !important;}
  1. Save the changes and publish the site.

This CSS code essentially sets the body element to have a fixed width and height, and then creates a pseudo-element after the body element that acts as the scrollable element. This way, the scrollbar is always present, preventing the janky animation.

By following these steps, you should be able to prevent the janky animation caused by the removal of the scrollbar in the fullscreen nav-menu in Webflow.
