Bug 25982 – Safari shows scrollbars in Gmail when there's nothing to scroll

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Colin Chivers]

In Gmail, Safari will show a vertical scrollbar (without the actual bar part in it) even when there isn't anything to scroll to. I'm using the latest WebKit nightly, r44078, with the first public beta of Safari 4. It seems to effect all pages in Gmail, not just the inbox.
    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Get on Gmail.
    2. Go to a page within Gmail that can fit in one browser window (that shouldn't normally have vertical scrollbars on the side.)

    Expected Results:
The page should not show any scrollbars when they are not necessary.

Gmail is setting "overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: scroll;", which means we're correct to show an empty scrollbar track.  Firefox behaves similarly.  Closing due to this being correct behavior.

Specifically, the rule is:
html.cQ{overflow-y:scroll;overflow-x:auto}
in a style sheet served from https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&view=ss&ver=…

Thanks for your help! I added "html {overflow: auto !important;}" to my user stylesheet and now it works how I like it.
