The new pop-up window for YouTube videos is very annoying, but this can be addressed easily for now.
This simple filter for uBlock Origin seems to fix this for now. It blocks the pop-up and you can scroll the page. Tested with Chromium browser.

Also, ensure you go into the uBlock Origin Dashboard->Filter Lists, Purge all caches, and then Update now. This will take care of this annoying pop-up and save your sanity.
Then, go to Settings->I am an advanced user, tick the box, and then click the gears to open the configuration dialog. When it opens, you will see this.

Edit this value to 1.
autoUpdatePeriod 1 |
This will change the auto-update value for filters to every hour. This is optimal. This is how I managed to address this annoyance for now.
