Rogue iframe in Chrome and Edge on Zendesk Support - stops selection of Views/Home/+Add

Hi team,

We have an issue in Chrome and Edge, which presents as follows:
Users are unable to select elements in the top left corner of screen. Observe the cursor remains as a pointer, whereas a selectable element will produce a hand symbol.

Opening DevTools, I can see there is an iframe with id="web-messenger-container", which appears to be a Zendesk Sunshine? addin - https://docs.smooch.io/guide/web-messenger/ 



Hiding this iframe in Dev Tools lets the user select things underneath that iframe



How do we permanently disable this from loading?

Hello Rhys,

It's a backend issue, you can't do it by yourself, you need to contact Zendesk.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. This post was option 2, so I'm likely going to go around in circles. Is this a known issue?

For me... it's not a known issue :)

I've had the same issue - what was the resolution for you Rhys?

I ended up blocking the element using AdBlockPlus
