Description

What Happened?

I'm trying to make the content of a RevealJS slide scrollable. As such, I've added the option scrollable: true to my qmd's YAML.

However, after rendering it, even though the content overflows the slide, the slide is not scrollable.

Expected Behavior

Once the option scrollable: is set to true, the overflowing slides should become scrollable.

  • Overflowing slide:

  • Option in file's YAML:

Platform
  • OS: Linux;
  • Quarto version: 1.3.450

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with a RevealJS qmd on Linux using the YAML option scrollable: true, focusing on a centered slide whose content overflows. Trace the RevealJS slide rendering and scrolling behavior; done means overflowing centered slides can be scrolled while normal slides retain their existing behavior.
