## :mag: Overview As reported on [Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/when-sel…ecting-text-and-giving-ai-a-custom-prompt-based-on-the-text-the-popup-cannot-be-scrolled/368687?u=keegan), you are currently unable to scroll on long AI post helper results when on mobile. This update fixes that by allowing scroll back. No test as it's tricky to test scroll behavior. ## 🔗 Relevant Links https://meta.discourse.org/t/when-selecting-text-and-giving-ai-a-custom-prompt-based-on-the-text-the-popup-cannot-be-scrolled/368687 ## 📹 Screen Recording ### ← Before https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9dc6f6a2-b9d4-46a8-91ee-ad1ed6f47de0 ### → After https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ca93dba1-eefb-4d03-9b47-c4a8ba291117
