modalPanel too big to fit page scrolling problem again

[akaine]

Hi

I've been looking for some solution on this issue and all old bug reports say SOLVED and still I keep having this one from v3.3.2 to v3.3.3. The modal panel is fixed and appears always in the "middle" of the screen and stays there even if I scroll the page - that's really nice. Still if the modal panel doesn't fit into the screen there is simply no way to "extend" the page view to scroll through the modal panel. As a consequence people have to add some scrolling inside the panel making its size fixed. Sometimes that's not an option since the size can vary too drastically.

- What are my options here?

- Is there any way to override css to make modalPanel part of the page so the page scrolling would work?

Thanks in advance

Am I the only who has this issue?

You're not the only one, I'm having the same problem since we changed to v3.3.3. In addition, I can't get the scrollable <div> method to work, the vertical scroll bar appears, but just its upper part and it's disabled.

there is position:fixed used in classes for one of the container div's in modal panel markup. you could redefin checking the class for that div and replacing the value of positioning. But that could have side effects. And actually design markup not supports that out-of-the-box. So try it out and see if that will works in your particular case.

I found several div's in modalPanel and tried changing the ones with "position: fixed" to something else with no luck.

A size fixed DIV with overflow:auto worked quite well for me. I even wrote a js that detects div's height and limits it to some predefined value. Still I was not able to unfix modal's position until Ilya's response.
