tylersticka has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:
== [css-overflow] set element as document scrolling element ==
It's relatively straightforward to use [overflow](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-4/) properties to make a child element of a page scroll independently of the document. But it's a much larger effort currently to allow "fullscreen" elements like modals, menus and dialogs to seamlessly become the primary scrolling element while ["locking" the scroll of the parent page](https://github.com/FL3NKEY/scroll-lock).
I suspect this is an overly optimistic idea, but in a perfect world this behavior would be as simple to define as this:
```css
.menu.is-open {
overflow: document;
}
```
(I was [encouraged to submit this issue](https://twitter.com/fantasai/status/1220851780357148674) after [writing about the idea](https://cloudfour.com/thinks/some-imaginary-css/#borrow-scroll-behavior-from-document).)
