A modal drawer slides in over a scrim
A modal drawer slides in, and the rest of the page gets the same scrim as a dialog.
Context
Decided while the web app was redrawn to this system; raised in review and implemented in raft-ui and the web app. Drawers had no scrim, although nothing behind an open drawer can be clicked.
Decision
A modal drawer slides in with ease-slide, and the rest of the page gets layer-backdrop. Of the overlays, only the drawer animates.
Consequences
The scrim says that the page behind is not available. The slide shows where the drawer came from.
