I believe, this is no longer required and additionally, it preserves effects such as shadow in the lightbox. But not quite sure if that should be the intended behavior.

@madhusudhand Thanks for the PR! We actually had an implementation similar to this just using CSS in #53026, and it was revised to prevent inconsistent behavior on mobile and layout shifts. I tested this PR and noticed that the experience sometimes breaks on mobile (tested using Safari on iPhone). This is a web usability issue, because it can cause users to lose context of where they are on the page: mobile-lightbox-scroll.mp4Also, the layout shifts using this approach, which is particularly noticeable at smaller resolutions: lightbox-layout-shift2.mp4lightbox-layout-shift.mp4The JavaScript approach and jitter isn't ideal; it would be great if we could have a CSS solution that behaves consistently on mobile and avoids jittering and layout shifts. Would also be great to hear if anyone has other thoughts or ideas on how to address this 🙏 |

I'm adding some thoughts as I've attempted to fix similar issues in the past, but most solutions have trade-offs.
- In addition to setting
overflow: hiddenonbody, we could try settingposition: fixedonbodyas well. Unfortunately, this also resets the scroll position, but perhaps we could scroll to the previous position with JS. (There's some examples of this here.) - We could consider using an additional package, like body-scroll-lock. But I'm hesitate to suggest adding something like this if we can fix it using either just CSS or a combination of CSS and JS.

Closing it as the fix breaking the experience as mentioned in this comment. |

What?
Image lightbox currently uses javascript based scroll position reset on scroll event. This causes slight jitter effect in the UI.
How?
This fix removes the javascript based handlers. Instead it sets
overflow: hiddento thebodyelement when lightbox is invoked and restores itsoriginal overflow statewhen lightbox is closed.Testing Instructions
