What is causing the scrolling issue in Webflow when viewing the landing page in Chrome and Windows 10?

There could be several reasons causing the scrolling issue in Webflow when viewing the landing page on Chrome and Windows 10. Here are some possible causes and their corresponding solutions:

  1. Overflow Property: Check the overflow property of your containers or sections. If the overflow property is set to "hidden" or "auto" instead of "visible," it can prevent scrolling. Make sure you adjust the overflow property accordingly to allow scrolling on the page.

  2. Page Height: If your page content doesn't exceed the height of the viewport, scrolling won't be possible. Make sure your page has enough content to fill the screen or adjust the height of your sections to ensure that scrolling is enabled.

  3. Position Property: Incorrect use of the position property could also be the culprit. If you have elements with the "fixed" or "absolute" position, they might be overlapping or obscuring the scrollable content. Check the position property of such elements and make adjustments if necessary.

  4. Browser Extensions: Some browser extensions or add-ons can interfere with the scroll functionality on websites. Try disabling any extensions that might be causing conflicts and check if the scrolling issue is resolved.

  5. Outdated Browser: Using an outdated version of Chrome may lead to compatibility issues with Webflow. Make sure you have the latest version of Chrome installed on your Windows 10 device to avoid any potential conflicts.

  6. Conflicting CSS Styles: Conflicting CSS styles can disrupt the scrolling behavior. Inspect the affected elements using the browser's developer tools, and look for any conflicting CSS properties or styles. Adjust or remove conflicting styles to resolve the scrolling issue.

  7. Webflow Interactions: If you have applied Webflow Interactions to your page, they might be causing the scrolling issue. Check your interactions for any conflicting scroll-related settings. Adjust the settings or disable interactions temporarily to identify and resolve the issue.

Remember to test your changes across different platforms and browsers to ensure a consistent user experience.
