(And yes - we'll fix that modal issue soon with a pure css approach; a community member wanted to implement it with JavaScript but it hasn't worked out well)

Can I ask what you mean by this? I'm just getting into react and that sentence is a pretty big red flag..... you mean you cant just do return false and it breaks react?

I phrased it badly - I meant the modal scroll handling that was implemented hasn't worked out well, no red flags for React here. position: fixed is a more robust way of positioning modals, the current version watches the scroll event and updates the modal's position which is pretty janky; and it does some not-great things manipulating overflow on the body too, which causes the bug mentioned. We'll be fixing that in the next release.

gotcha, thanks!
