Sticky deosn't always stick to the viewport but to the nearest ancestor having a scrolling box. A bit trick as concept (related: stackoverflow.com/q/55592104/8620333). In other words, it's the first ancestor with overflow different from visible (that's why overflow:hidden is a hassle for sticky, also related: stackoverflow.com/a/54806576/8620333)
