sticky placement changes when option is chosen

I'm experimenting with the CSS style called position: sticky and I've encountered an issue. Everything works perfectly until the select element is activated, causing the page to scroll back to the original position of the sticky element.

<div style="position: sticky; position: -webkit-sticky; top: 0;">
    <select>
        <option>Option</option>
    </select>
</div>

Here's a link to the issue on CodePen

I searched online for a solution but couldn't find anything addressing this specific problem. Has anyone else experienced this before and found a fix?

Thank you!

Browser used: Chrome 67.0.3396.79

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium

Note that sticky positioning works correctly in Firefox.

Answer №1

The issue arises due to its association with a form element. When the element is clicked, the browser automatically scrolls to it if its original position is off-screen. However, Firefox behaves differently and only acts on this if the element itself is out of view.

A potential solution is to utilize position:fixed; instead. Since there are no other elements positioned above it, using sticky in this scenario serves no purpose.
