This might be a generic problem with overlay scrolling. The same might happens for the talk overlay. Can someone investigate and verify locally? We've done a bunch of refactoring so it's possible this is fixed in latest master.

Strange. What is Chrome doing differently (as it's not an issue there)?

For the desktop product, we save/restore the scroll position from JS.

We do on mobile too.. for some reason only applying in Chrome though.
