There could be a few reasons why the left menu is not scrolling when the hamburger menu is triggered on your Webflow site. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

Missing or incorrect scroll triggers: One common reason for this issue is that the scroll triggers are not set up correctly. Make sure that you have set up the correct interactions for the hamburger menu and the left menu. Ensure that the right element is being affected by the interaction.
Overflow settings: Check the overflow settings for the left menu and its parent elements. If the overflow is set to "hidden" or "auto," it may prevent the menu from scrolling. Set the overflow property to "scroll" or "auto" to enable scrolling.
Height settings: Verify that the height of the left menu is properly defined. If the height is set to a fixed value, it might not be able to scroll. Adjust the height to a value that allows room for scrolling.
Z-index: The left menu might be hidden behind other elements on the page due to incorrect z-index values. Ensure that the z-index of the left menu is set higher than other overlapping elements, so it appears above them when the hamburger menu is triggered.
Interaction conflicts: If you have multiple interactions applied to the left menu, they might conflict with each other, causing scrolling issues. Review all interactions affecting the left menu and ensure they work together harmoniously.
Responsive breakpoints: Check if the issue is specific to certain devices or screen sizes. It's possible that the scrolling issue only occurs on smaller screens or certain breakpoints. Test the site on different devices and adjust the scroll settings accordingly for each breakpoint.
Cache and browser issues: Occasionally, caching or browser issues can interfere with the functionality of the left menu. Clear your browser cache and try accessing the site in an incognito or private browsing window to rule out any local issues.

These troubleshooting steps should help you identify and fix the issue with your left menu not scrolling when the hamburger menu is triggered on your Webflow site.
