Everything appears to be set correctly and yet the page behind scrolls instead of the modal. Help please!

Max-height would be better, so that when on smaller devices, the modal doesn’t go out of screen.

I think that in the video, the content is not scrolling because the actual content doesn’t fill the 800px.

Can you check the Sizing property of what’s under Flexbox?

If it’s set the first one, then the content will always adapt to the container — and that’s not what we want.
