There are several possible causes for the problem with the mobile navigation on a Webflow site and the content being cropped instead of allowing scrolling. Here are a few potential reasons and their solutions:

Overflow property not set: One possible cause is that the overflow property is not set to "auto" or "scroll" for the element containing the content. This property controls whether or not the content is allowed to scroll. To fix this, you can set the overflow property to "auto" or "scroll" for the element.
Parent element height issue: Another reason could be that the parent element of the content has a fixed height that does not allow for scrolling. In this case, you would need to adjust the height of the parent element to accommodate the content and allow scrolling.
Sticky or fixed position elements: If there are any sticky or fixed position elements within the content or the navigation, they could be causing the issue. These elements can sometimes interfere with scrolling on mobile devices. To resolve this, you would need to adjust the positioning or remove the sticky/fixed property from those elements.
Viewport settings: It's also possible that the viewport settings are causing the problem. Check the meta viewport tag in the head section of your HTML code to ensure that it is set to "width=device-width, initial-scale=1". This ensures that the site is properly scaled for mobile devices and allows for scrolling.
Custom CSS or JavaScript conflicts: If you have customized the site using custom CSS or JavaScript code, there may be conflicts that are causing the issue. You can try temporarily disabling these customizations to see if the problem resolves.

Remember to test your site on multiple mobile devices and browsers to ensure that the issue is not specific to a particular device or browser. If the problem persists, it may be helpful to reach out to Webflow support or the Webflow community for further assistance.
