Research direction

Start by reproducing the bracket scroll trap on a Mac trackpad at the reported viewport size, then trace the bracket UI entry point and its surrounding page scrolling behavior. Done means users can reliably continue scrolling past the bracket without refreshing, including at the problematic screen size.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Similar to some scroll issues you all described with embedded maps earlier this year, I accidentally got scroll trapped inside the bracket and had to refresh my way out.

Using: Mac Trackpad
Reproduce: scroll down to bracket, there is a sweet spot with the wrong screen size where you can get trapped, or at least I couldn't find the place to go back to scrolling down the page.
Suggested fix: clearly designate where the portion of the page I could continue to scroll on is, or provide a draggable scroll bar that would help users continue down the page.

Cool site, excited to see the games!
