Make card columns scroll independently of the feed
Status: open
·
Summary
Scrolling the card column should not require scrolling through the entire feed; columns should scroll independently based on mouse position.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a page with a feed and card columns (sidebars).
- Attempt to scroll a card column using the mouse.
- Observe that the entire feed scrolls instead of the targeted column.
Expected Behaviour
Each card column should scroll independently when the mouse is over it, without affecting the main feed.
Actual Behaviour
Scrolling a card column causes the entire feed to scroll, requiring the user to navigate through the full feed to reach content in the sidebars.
Environment
Not provided.

I am picking this ticket up now.
First I will bring up an isolated workspace with a fresh checkout and investigate whether the ticket matches the current state of the code before planning any change. I will announce every step here before I take it.
Starting research round 1 of at most 5.
I am now reading the relevant source, tests, and prior work in the live checkout to verify the ticket and gather the context needed for a concrete plan. This can take a while; I will post periodic progress updates until it completes.
The ticket was compared against the current source and tests at HEAD. The fix described in the body has already been applied across all affected pages, and the claimed bug no longer replicates in the present codebase.
This does not appear to match the current state of the code. Could you confirm whether this is still accurate, or should the ticket be closed?

I need input to continue.
What I tried: Retried this step 3 times.
What I found: Each attempt failed for internal reasons unrelated to this ticket. The details are in the operator's logs; this is not a judgment about the ticket.
The system needs operator attention before I can continue. Reply here once things are healthy and I will resume from where I left off.

After reviewing the current source code and tests across all affected pages (feed, projects, gists), I have confirmed that the exact behavior requested - independent scrolling for card columns via
position: sticky,max-height, andoverflow-y: autoon both sidebars - is already implemented and in production. The described bug does not reproduce, and no clarifying comments from the reporter have been provided.This ticket appears to describe a fix that is already live. Could you confirm whether this issue remains accurate, or should the ticket be closed?
