Summary Modifying overflow property on <body> doesn't relayout

Reported 2008-04-25 14:44:34 PDT
Steps to reproduce: 1) Open test case 2) Notice that <body> has overflow: scroll, so both scrollbars are visible 3) Click button Expected result: The horizontal scrollbar disappears, the red square is moved downwards accordingly. Actual result: Nothing happens. The only way I found to get a layout refresh is by scrolling with the scroll wheel. Tested with r32413 and Safari 3.1 on Windows XP.

Can't reproduce the exact problem with your test case (Safari 4, Chrome 3, both on Win2003 Server) because the scrollbars don't disappear. However, I'm seeing what I'm pretty sure is the same bug with scrollable divs. When changing overflow-y from "auto" to "hidden", the scrollbar disappears but layout isn't updated to use the space previously occupied by the scrollbar. Possible dupes: Bug 19852, Bug 21462, Bug 21747

I have checked with the latest webkit code, It is working as expected. Expected result: The horizontal scrollbar disappears, the red square is moved downwards accordingly. Please verify on the latest code and confirm so that issue can be resolved.

I am getting expected result from attached test case using Safari 16.3, Safari Technology Preview 164, Chrome Canary 112 and Firefox Nightly 112. Since this bug is not marked as "New" (Confirmed), I am marking this as "RESOLVED WONTFXI". Thanks!
