Standard scrollTo usage often results in errors

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior:

Running the example code, which performs a simple scrollTo often results in an error stating that multiple elements cannot be scrolled.

Desired behavior:

Don’t error, and scroll the page. 🤡

How to reproduce:

Run the example code.

Test code:

  context('Page Scroll', () => {
    it('should work', () => {
      cy.visit('https://www.theguardian.com/uk')
      cy.scrollTo('0%', '35%')
    })
  })

@ctrlplusb You could temporarily use vanilla js before having a real fix on scrollTo

cy.window().then(win => {
  win.scrollTo('0%', '35%');
})
