Currently using bootstrap v3.3.4 for form modal's. When clicking submit on a form with input field errors the body scrolls down behind the modal. When the user closes the modal they will be in a different place of the web page which leads to poor ux.

$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $input.offset().top - Validator.FOCUS_OFFSET }, 250)

I believe this line in bootstraps validator.js causes the scroll. However i'm not in a position to remove this. Also it appears the scroll is due to bootstrap scrolling to focus the input field with the error.

How can I stop this background scroll without editing the bootstrap files directly?
