find overflow:hidden ancestors
// when you're trying to use `position:sticky` on an element
// you'll have trouble if any parent/ancestor element has
// overflow set to anything other than "visible" (such as: auto,hidden,overlay,scroll)
// & turns out if a parent is `display:flex` it might need some love
// (to remedy this you can set the `align-self` of your sticky element)
// see here for how the display & align-self properties affect: http://bit.ly/2ZaRu4o
// so, to find those troublesome parents...
// copy & paste this into Chrome Inspector/Dev Tools console
// (and be sure to change the #stickyElement below, if needed)
