Scrolling issues with multiple bootstrap modals

Question

I have a page with a modal with a lot of info so you need to scroll. This modal contains a link to a second modal.

When I

• open modal 1
• click on link to open modal 2 (modal 1 stays in background)
• and then close modal 2 so that I am back on modal 1

modal 1 looses scrolling (there is still a scroll bar but it doesn't do anything). Instead the modal stays in the position it was at the time of opening modal 2.

I played around with closing the background modal with js first (but that messes up scrolling on the second modal). It appears that every time I try to open/close more than one modal I always get some issue with the scrolling.

Any suggestions on how to handle this?

Answer 1

Add

.modal { overflow: auto !important; }

To your CSS.

Without your code I went ahead and created this jsFiddle that recreates your issue, or at least a very similar one. Add your code and I will test if this works or not.

Adding that line to the CSS fixed the issue as demonstrated with this jsFiddle.
