To make stickiness work I have to set "overflow: visible" on this element.
Without this SHOW LESS button sticks with wrong way and does not work as intended.
Sticky elt sticks to its nearest ancestor that has a "scrolling mechanism"
(created when overflow is hidden, scroll, auto, or overlay)
So, disabling "show less" button parent's "scrolling mechanism"
it is possible to make it work as expected.
Still, I neither know nor understand how this shit works.
