Why is my scrollbar not working in Dawn theme configuration?

Topic summary

A user encountered an issue where the scrollbar in the Dawn theme configuration editor is not functioning properly, making it difficult to access certain settings. While the scrollbar is visible (highlighted in red in their screenshot), it cannot be used effectively.

Identified Cause:
The user suspects they may have accidentally removed code that enables the scrollbar functionality.

Workaround Provided:
Another community member confirmed this is a known bug that Shopify will fix. As a temporary solution, users can zoom out using CTRL - (or CMD - on Mac) to access the required sections in the theme editor.

Status:
The issue remains unresolved pending an official fix from Shopify, but the zoom workaround provides immediate access to configuration options.

It seems as if i have removed some code that enables a scrollbar when editing in the dawn theme configuration.

I have marked the scrollbar in red, it is visible however just not usable.

Hi @Widengren

This seems to be a bug. This will be fixed by shopify. For now CTRL - is a quick fix. I zoomed out [CTRL -] to access the required section. For now CTRL - is a quick fix.
