title: Bootstrap modal content overlay on modal
body: <p>I am having issues with Modal it's not behaving as it should in Bootstrap the content is visible once the model is launched in the middle of the screen. The circles are blocking the visible text.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/wu1hh.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/wu1hh.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I am trying to remove the circles from the screen once the modal is launched so that the text is visible on the modal. However the circles should stay once the modal is closed or the page is loaded for the first time. </p>
