    I don't think this error is related to your app because I get it too. It seems to be an error with a SunCo script because its source is cdn.smooch.io.

    Have you tried removing it with CSS?

    body {
      overflow-y: hidden; /* Hide vertical scrollbar */
    }

    Thanks - that doesnt work. funny that the app.js file in the dist folder includes css for an "overflow-y" property and I can modify that to "hidden" to hide it but dont know whats creating it

    Following the error message, there's a function "getScrollTopAtBottom" that is using this property causing this error - see below

    I note this code stack is using an old version of REACT and could be that

        "react": "^16.8.0",
        "react-dom": "^16.8.0",

     I()(tt()(r), "getScrollTopAtBottom", (function() {
                    var e = r._logo
                      , t = e ? e.clientHeight : 0;
                    return {
                        scrollTopAtBottom: r._container.current.scrollHeight - r._container.current.clientHeight - t - 10,
                        container: r._container.current
                    }
                }
                )),
                I()(tt()(r), "scrollToBottom", (function() {
                    var e = r.props
                      , t = e.dispatch
                      , n = e.shouldScrollToBottom
                      , o = e.typingIndicatorShown
                      , i = r.getScrollTopAtBottom()
                      , a = i.container
                      , s = i.scrollTopAtBottom;
                    (Object(Vi.c)(r.props.replyActionsParentMessage).length > 0 || o) && (s += 10),
                    a.scrollTop = s,
                    n && t(Object(ve.u)(!1))
                }
                )),
                I()(tt()(r), "updateScrollPosition", (function(e, t) {
                    var n = r.getScrollTopAtBottom()
                      , o = n.container
                      , i = n.scrollTopAtBottom <= o.scrollTop + 1;
                    (r.props.widgetOpened || r.props.embedded) && t > 0 && i && r.props.dispatch(Object(he.B)(r.props.conversation._id)),
                    e !== i && r.props.dispatch(function(e) {
                        return {
                            type: ie.c,
                            isAtBottom: e
                        }
                    }(i))
                }
                )),
                I()(tt()(r), "scrollToPreviousFirstMessage", (function() {
                    var e = r._lastTopMessageNode;
                    r.props.hasMoreMessages ? r._lastTopMessageNodePosition && !r._isScrolling && (r._isScrolling = !0,
                    r._container.current.scrollTop = Object(we.b)(e, r._container.current),
                    r._isScrolling = !1) : r._container.current.scrollTop = Object(we.b)(e, r._container.current) - 47,
                    r._lastTopMessageNode = void 0
                }
                )),

    Problem solved!! 

    You can hide it in the html template file under the <body> tag

        <style>
          html {overflow-y: hidden; /* Hide vertical scrollbar */}
          </style>
    To fix properly, you need to update @zendeskgarden/css-bedrock to 9.1.1.
