eu tenteieste método (seu violino) para ativar o menu rolável com o Bootstrap, mas com essa abordagem, o menu rolável expande seu contêiner -violino - o menu não rolável, corretamente, não faz isso.

Como posso consertar isso? Sugestões sobre outras abordagens compatíveis com o Bootstrap também são apreciadas!

Para referência, aqui está o HTML do primeiro violino do método:

<ul class="nav">
    <li class="dropdown">
        <a class="icon-key icon-white" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" style=
        "font-weight: bold"></a>

        <div class="dropdown-menu" style="margin-left: 2em">
            <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                <!-- static non-scrollable menu header 1 -->
            </ul>
        </div>

        <div class="dropdown-menu" style="margin-left: 2em">
            <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                <li class="disabled">
                    <a href="#"><i class="icon-group"></i> <b>My Groups</b></a>
                </li>

                <li>
                    <div class="dropdown-menu scroll-menu scroll-menu-2x"
                    style="margin-left: 2em">
                        <ul class="dropdown-menu scroll-menu scroll-menu-2x">
                            <li>

E o CSS:

/* So we wont impact the original bootstrap menu or it's pseudo call-out
arrow the menu is wrapped in a sub dropdown-menu with a chained scroll-menu */
ul.scroll-menu {
    position:relative;
    display:inherit!important;
    overflow-x:auto;
    -webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;
    -moz-overflow-scrolling:touch;
    -ms-overflow-scrolling:touch;
    -o-overflow-scrolling:touch;
    overflow-scrolling:touch;
    top:0!important;
    left:0!important;
    width:100%;
    height:auto;
    max-height:500px;
    margin:0;
    border-left:none;
    border-right:none;
    -webkit-border-radius:0!important;
    -moz-border-radius:0!important;
    -ms-border-radius:0!important;
