I have a modal with a long content and a button that opens another modal. When I close the inner modal, the outer modal is stuck. It cannot be scrolled, rather the background begins to scroll.

I have found a few questions relating to modal and scrolling like bootstrap modal inside a modal and Prevent BODY from scrolling when a modal is opened, but my issue doesn't seem to be replicated here.

I have forked a fiddle from Bootstrap 3: prevent modal inside modal to trigger (hidden.bs.modal) every time to demonstate this issue. After clicking on the Cancel from the second modal, the first modal is stuck.

code:

$('#btnUploadCancel').click(function() {
  $('#uploadImage').modal('toggle');
});

Edit your javascript to leave first modal open like this - 

    $('#btnUploadCancel').click(function () {
    $('#uploadImage').modal('toggle');

    $('body').addClass('modal-open');
});

$('.modal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
        var idx = $('.modal:visible').length;
        $(this).css('z-index', 1040 + (10 * idx));
    });
    $('.modal').on('shown.bs.modal', function (event) {
        var idx = ($('.modal:visible').length) - 1; // raise backdrop after animation.
        $('.modal-backdrop').not('.stacked').css('z-index', 1039 + (10 * idx));
        $('.modal-backdrop').not('.stacked').addClass('stacked'); 
    });
   $('.modal').on('hide.bs.modal', function (event) { 
        var modal_length =  $('.modal:visible').length;
        if (modal_length>1)
        {
            $("body").css("overflow","hidden");
            $('.modal:visible').css("overflow-y","auto");
        }
    });

Bootstrap modal when shown adds a new modal-open class to your body element. And when being closed, it removes the modal-open class.

So you only need to re-apply that class to your body element when closing the child modal. Here's the thing:

Add a new custom css class for the modals inside your parent modal.

in my case, I use .child-modal,

/* when using a modal within a modal, add this class on the child modal */
$(document).find('.child-modal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {
    console.log('hiding child modal');
    $('body').addClass('modal-open');
});

html

<div class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog">
     ...
     <a href="#" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#other_modal" title="Help">
       Open the other modal
     </a>
     ...
</div>
<div class="modal fade child-modal" id="other_modal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog">
   ... other codes here ...
</div>

See working snippet below: 

$('#btnUploadCancel').click(function() {
  $('#uploadImage').modal('toggle');
});


$(document).find('.child-modal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {
    console.log('hiding child modal');
    $('body').addClass('modal-open');
});
