How do I remove a scrolling event handler from a specific element/class?

Question

I am trying to create a TOC in Obsidian that follows as you scroll. Everything works correctly till you get between 25-50% of the page and then the TOC just disappears.

#TOC,
.TOC {
  position: fixed;
  top: 2rem;
  right: 0;
  display: inline-block;
  float: right;
  z-index: 10;
}

<div id="TOC">
  <ul>
    <li><a class="internal-link" data-href="#Explore" href="#Explore" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Explore</a></li>
    <li><a class="internal-link" data-href="#New" href="#New" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

I've tried with TOC as both a class and using an ID. So turns out there is a scrolling event tied to the main class that seems to hide other classes as they leave the view.

I have no idea how to read or write js so I've added images with text. Using inspect element I've found this

After scrolling down halfway TOC disappears.

All I want is the TOC to stay in the corner. How can I remove the scrolling event from the TOC? When I delete the entire scrolling event everything works perfectly. But obviously it reloads every time you restart the app or refresh.

What I want is to either have a specific class/div/id for TOC and have the event disabled for that class. If can't do that, how can I just remove it all together?

I expected the TOC to stay in the corner with a fixed position (sticky does nothing). It works till the scrolling event handler dynamically removes/ hides divs and classes that aren't in view.

Good luck with this one. I'm not sure it's possible, but maybe it is with some JavaScript.

Obsidian seems to render only part of a page at a time. I wrote a CSS snippet to add captions to images and videos and number them. If there were more than a couple of either, scrolling down the page would cause the numbering to start over from the beginning.

Here's what I wrote

.workspace-leaf-content {
    counter-reset: figures;
    counter-reset: videos;
}

.internal-embed.image-embed.is-loaded {
    counter-increment: figures;
}

.internal-embed.media-embed.is-loaded {
    counter-increment: videos;
}

.image-embed::after {
    display: block;
    font-variant: small-caps;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 90%;
    content: 'Fig. ' counter(figures) '. ' attr(alt);
}

.media-embed::after {
    display: block;
    font-variant: small-caps;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 90%;
    content: 'Vid. ' counter(videos) '. ' attr(alt);
}

.internal-embed+.footnote-ref,
.media-embed+.footnote-ref {
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: bottom;
}

.image-embed,
.media-embed {
    margin-left: initial;
}
