Unable to click on the vertical scroll bar within the React-Bootstrap Accordion Body component

Utilizing the react-bootstrap accordion has been quite helpful in my project. However, one of the items within it sometimes contains a lengthy list. To tackle this issue, I included overflowY: auto in the style to introduce a scroll bar when needed. Although the scroll bar does appear, it seems that it is not clickable, and can only be scrolled using the mouse wheel. Any suggestions on why this might be happening and what steps I should take to resolve it?

<div style={{ paddingTop: "1.7rem" }}>
        <table className="columnTable">
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    {/* Other rows not shown */}
                    <td className="header">Context Information</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        <Accordion defaultActiveKey={open.current} flush alwaysOpen>
                            {someList.filter(a => a.shouldbeIncluded == 'true').map((asset, i) => (
                                <Accordion.Item style={{ cursor: pointer, overflow: 'auto' }} eventKey={i.toString()} key={itemUri} onClick={e => HandleAccordionEvent(e, nameFromElsewhere)}>
                                    <Accordion.Header>{myPropertyName}</Accordion.Header>
                                    <Accordion.Body className="bodyText ellipses" style={{ overflowY: 'auto', maxWidth: 200, maxHeight: 200, textOverflow: 'ellipsis', padding: 10 }}>
                                        {myItemList.filter(a => a.filter == "criteria").map((a, j) => (
                                            <><a href="randomUrl">{a.someRandomText}</a><br/></>
                                        ))}
                                    </Accordion.Body>
                                </Accordion.Item>
                            ))}
                        </Accordion>
                    </td>
                </tr>

                {/* Other rows */}
            </tbody>
        </table>

The custom CSS for my component looks like this, but I fail to see how it could impact the scroll bar functionality:

.accordion-button.collapsed {
  background-color: rgb(53, 132, 181) !important;
  color: white;
}

.accordion-button {
  font-size: medium;
  padding: 10px;
  background-color: rgb(0, 165, 203) !important;
  color: white !important;
}

.header {
  background-color: rgb(33, 90, 161);
  color: white;
  padding: 10px;
}

.bodyText {
  font-size: 15px;
  text-align: left;
}

.ellipses {
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  max-width: 200px;
}

.columnTable {
  border-width: 1px;
  border-color: lightgray;
  border-style: solid;
  position: 'absolute';
  top: 0;
  width: 200px;
  display: 'inline-block';
  padding-top: "1.7rem";
}

Answer №1

With some assistance from a colleague, the root of the issue turned out to be quite unexpected. The code presented in my initial question was deemed perfectly fine. The actual problem stemmed from a React-bootstrap container:

<Container>
    <Row style={{ height: 10 }}>
      <Col><Image className="my-company-header-style" /></Col>
    </Row>
    <Row>
      <Col md={1}></Col>
      <Col md={10}>
        <MyComponent/>
      </Col>
      {* It turned out that this specific line was causing all the trouble by covering the scrollbar *}
      <Col md={1}></Col>
    </Row>
  </Container>

The MyComponent in question encompasses the code referenced in my original query (along with additional content). Originally, I had established three columns within my grid structure, with two being empty columns designated for spacing purposes. Subsequent modifications to the code made the third column redundant; however, it continued to render and obstruct the right-hand side of my component (including the scroll bar).
