 * Greetings,
 * I am interested in disabling the background scrolling effect when the menu is
   open.
 * When one of my drop-down ( subcategory ) menu items is selected.. my menu turns
   out to be very long.
 * So when using this on your phone, you must scroll down the responsive menu to
   view all of the options.
 * Occasionally the website in the background gets confused about where the user
   wants to scroll.
 * This creates a very frustrating dual-scrolling effect.
 * Please let me know if a setting can be added to the plugin that will disable 
   the background scroll while the foreground menu is open, and active.
 * If this topic isn’t crystal clear please feel free to ask any further questions.
 * thank you.

 * Hi Benzy,
 * Can you let me know exactly on which devices/screen sizes and site you have this
   problem on so I can check.
 * This behaviour doesn’t happen on any development or other sites I have come across
   so far.
 * Many thanks

 * Hello,
 * We too are facing this issue. We would like it so that once you reach the end
   of the responsive menu, you are not able to scroll any further. Please advise
   how to accomplish this.

 * Also, in regards to my comment above when scrolling through the menu can we lock
   the page in back of the menu as well. so when you are scrolling through the menu
   you don’t see the content in back of the menu scrolling as well?

 * Hi guys,
 * This option has been added to the Pro version released today, more info can be
   found on the following URL:
 * [http://responsive.menu/pricing](http://responsive.menu/pricing)
 * If you have knowledge of jQuery/CSS then you will be able to achieve this without
   upgrading, but if you want to take the pain out of it you can give it a go.
 * All the best
