Hey 
@mark.chidlow
Yes Bubblers is totally a thing here! Welcome to the Bubble community! 
It does seem like a unique case. Are you using a pop up for a security reason? They can’t access your page unless they access with a popup? Is everything still visible underneath? I ask this because this may not be the most secure way to do things. You may need to re-think the process here.
See post: 🔐 Why a popup is not good for security - with video on how to hack your own site to test it
Hope that helps!
