Created attachment 373393 [details] testcase See the attached testcase. The elements have writing-mode vertical-rl and so scrollLeft goes from 0 (right) to left -200 (left). However, when using -webkit-scrollbar, it is possible to make scrollLeft take a positive value. Note that this issue does not seem to happen with other writing-mode / direction values or when -webkit-scrollbar is not set: https://people.igalia.com/fwang/scrollLeft-scrollTop.html For now Cathie added a workround to https://w3c-test.org/css/cssom-view/scrollIntoView-vertical-rl-writing-mode.html to make the test pass in WebKit (it seems -webkit-scrollbar is used when using WebKit's layout test runner)
