Bug 20259 – Scrollbar missing from page

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED

[Eric Roman]

The page at http://bbs.ogame.net/ cannot be scrolled.
There is no scrollbar, nor does dragging a selection downwards work.
Didn't work in Safari 3.1 and WebKit-SVN-r35417.
Worked on Firefox 2, Firefox 3, IE7, Opera 9.5

This needs further reduction. While I tentatively filed this as "Layout and Rendering" it could be a javascript/event problem, since it looks like they are hooking into onscroll.

Reduction of Bug 20259

I think this is caused by the CSS "overflow" property.  Some investigation finds this CSS declaration:

html { ... overflow: hidden; ... }

See attached reduction. 

I was able to get a scrollbar on IE6 on Win XP.  Parity with Firefox 2.

I ran into the same problem, with the WebKit Nightly at this page:
http://www.nometech.com/blog/a-to-z-of-wordpress-htaccess-hacks/

Although when I looked at the CSS and in the Web Inspector they showed:
html { overflow-y: scroll; }
html, body { height: 100%; }

Also, when in the Web Inspector I disabled and re-enabled (using the checkbox) the following CSS Rule and when I re-enabled the scrollbar appeared.  Seems like it should have happened to begin with, no?
"overflow-y: scroll;"

Note: Safari 4 correctly renders the scrollbar.  Does that make this a regression?

Hi

I am working on this bug and after analysing the bug came to know that while handling overflow:hidden case for html elements the code was explicity putting scrollbar to off. I changed that to on after which the test case is behaving as expected.
Let me know whether my approach and analysis right. Any suggestions on the same are welcome.

Thanks

Safari 16.3, STP162, Chrome Canary 112 and Firefox Nightly 111 does not show any scrollbar in attached reduction.

Since all current browser content engines are matching, I am marking this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". Thanks!
