Bug in CMS reference field – Scroll is broken, only the first 30 items are accessible

Issues

Issue description:
There is a bug in the reference (ref) field in the CMS. When trying to select a reference, the dropdown correctly shows the first 30 items, but the scroll is broken: although the scrollbar appears, it doesn’t actually scroll or load more items. As a result, it’s impossible to select any reference beyond the first 30 entries.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the CMS.
  2. Create or edit an entry that contains a reference field.
  3. Click on the reference field to open the item selector.
  4. Try scrolling down to see more items.
  5. Notice that the scroll doesn’t respond

Expected behavior:
The scroll should work smoothly, allowing users to navigate and select from the full list of available reference items.

Actual behavior:
The scroll appears but doesn’t work — it’s either stuck, unresponsive, or fails to trigger loading of additional items. This limits the selection to just the first 30 entries.

Impact:
This bug significantly affects content management, especially for collections with a large number of entries. Editors are unable to reference items beyond the initial set, which blocks proper content linking and slows down workflow.

Hello @jose_aranda,

Thanks for the report. Do you have a link to a project/component where this issue is happening?

We will begin investigation shortly.

Thanks for the quick response!

This issue is happening directly within the CMS interface you provide — specifically when editing a model that includes a reference field. Since the problem seems to be related to the CMS UI itself (not to any custom code or component in my project), I believe it shouldn’t be necessary to share access to my specific project.

Let me know if you still need a project link, but from what I can tell, the bug should be reproducible in any project that has a reference field with more than 30 entries.

Oh, I see what you mean, I thought it was in the studio UI but it’s actually in the CMS Ui. Thanks for the additional info.
