Description

Hello everyone,
Today I visited React website to learn React by reading docs. But soon I realized that sidebar on react docs page https://reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html doesn't have a scrollbar. I could not access contents of FAQ from sidebar because sidebar didn't have a scrollbar to scroll and see content of FAQ.

This is how web page looks on my laptop :-
Screenshot (44)

As you can see that I clicked on FAQ in sidebar its content didn't appear because it get's outside of my screen height and I didn't have a scroll bar to scroll.
The one scrollbar that you can see on screen only scrolls content of side page and not scrollbar.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the sidebar behavior at https://reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html and inspect the sidebar at the laptop-sized viewport shown in the issue. Done means the full sidebar, including FAQ, can be reached and scrolled independently from the main documentation content.
