Clicking links gives no result in Chrome 61

Links that were working as expected in previous Chrome versions - with smooth scrolling to the target - are now failing to work at all; clicking them produces no result.

Please try updating localScroll and scrollTo to the latest version and see if it works then

Same problem here with version 1.2.7. Be ready for more cases because that version is included in some WP themes. Waiting the designer to fix/update.

I tried to upgrade to the latest version, this didn't solve the issue.
Do you plan to provide a fix for that? Thanks!

I updated localScroll's demo site to use the latest version of both scrollTo and localScroll, it's still working correctly so it's not broken across the board for sure.

I willl need someone to be able to reproduce the issue with a small demo, if a fix is provided, even better.

I was having this problem today as well with Chrome 61. I updated LocalScroll to 2.0.0 and ScrollTo to 2.1.2 and now it's working again.

I really wonder what is that problematic in the old version (whichever it was). There hasn't been too many major changes tbh. If someone's able to actually try to pinpoint the problematic version and what's wrong with it, it would be great

I can tell you that the versions I was running before were fairly old. LocalScroll 1.2.9b and ScrollTo 1.4.6. But I don't know that those versions in particular were problematic.

No errors or messages were generated in the console during my tests. It just didn't do anything at all.

I updated also scrollTo to the latest version, all is working fine now. Thanks!

Funny thing. I had the same problem, but my query #24170 got closed by a member because he said github can't help with this sort of query, so I reported the bug to Chromium and they sent me back here! LOL! Anyway, I just updated from version 1.4.3.1 to your latest version and it works! So I just wanted to say THANKS!

I also can't understand why everything was working fine before the Chrome update, and I did not understand what the Chromium guys were talking about, but maybe you can check it out and see if you can pinpoint the problem from what the Chromium guys had to say at: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=771054

THANKS AGAIN!

I haven't checked, but they probably messed with which of html and body needs to be used for scrolling. It's been going back and forth for years now. I stopped worrying by now :)
I improved that detection over the last version so it's probably better prepared to handle their changes than the older versions
