HTML nav bar dropdown become unresponsive when trying to make it sticky - html

Question

I am trying to add a sticky nav bar to a sample web page I am creating. A working sample of the code is attached below. However, when I scroll all the way down, my nav bars dropdowns stop working. It works fine when scrolling up again. I am not sure what is wrong here. Appreciate any thoughts on what is going wrong here.
.header {
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
background: black;
color: white;
}
.navbar {
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #47494f;
z-index: 5;
}
.keepItTop {
position: -webkit-sticky; /* Safari */
position: sticky;
top: 0;
}
/* Style the navigation bar links */
.navbar a {
float: left;
font-size: 16px;
display: block;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 20px;
text-decoration: none;
}
/* Right-aligned link */
.navbar a.right {
float: right;
}
/* Change color on hover */
.navbar a:hover, .dropdown:hover .dropbtn {
background-color: #ddd;
color: black;
}
/*Dropdown Menu*/
.dropdown {
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
}
.dropdown .dropbtn {
font-size: 16px;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: white;
padding: 14px 16px;
background-color: inherit;
font-family: inherit;

Your video has a higher z stacking level than your menu. Bring the menu above it.
