Description of the problem

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?

I was working on the chakra-ui drawer example but i realized that i can no longer edit text outside of the the preview area. I created the drawer area and i just set the default props to always be open. And then i noticed this problem.

I tried the fix this problem myself and i was delete the portal element in the preview area on the dev tools and problems is solved at that time. I think this problems may be related to React Portal.

Research direction

Start by opening the linked CodeSandbox and reproducing the issue with the Chakra UI Drawer permanently open. Inspect the preview's React Portal behavior and compare it with the reported DevTools workaround. Done means text outside the preview remains editable while the Drawer is open, without requiring portal removal.
