Description Sergio Villar Senin 2014-03-04 04:48:14 PST

The page I linked above shows a custom scrollbar. WebKitGtk does not render it and thus makes that webpage totally unusable.

The scrollbars are painted by a jQuery plugin called nicescroll https://github.com/inuyaksa/jquery.nicescroll.

Other sites using that plugin have the same problem, for instance http://www.crowdfundmafia.com/.

Looks like a serious issue

Comment 3 Martin Robinson 2014-03-04 08:24:55 PST

Is this with WebKit1 or WebKit2?

Both

Diego Pino and I have been triaging this bug and have found that the problem is in the code that the NiceScroll JavaScript library uses to detect if the device has touch capabilities (the scrollbar is hidden in that case). Manually forcing the library to believe that the device is non-touchable solves the issue.

We have reported the bug[1] to the NiceScroll authors and submitted a patch[2] to apply the same fix they already used for Chrome.

Great job! Have you had any feedback so far?

Not a WebKit bug, then?
