USWDS - Bug: force-action modal breaks scroll in iOS #6717

Description

@rachidatecs

Describe the bug

CSS for pointer:none on the force-modal overlay prevents closes on clicks. This is fine and dandy except on iOS, where that pointer style property messes with scroll and prevents scroll when there's a long force-action modal.

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Create a text force-action modal with a bunch of content
  2. trigger it on an iOS device
  3. Note that you can't scroll the modal*
    • This behavior is different on regular modal that you can scroll fine on iOS

Expected Behavior

force-action modals should behave the same as regular modals on iOS: When the modal is longer than the viewport, users should be able to scroll
