For a full description of the use cases, please see http://www.w3.org/International/docs/html-bidi-requirements/#vertical-scrollbar-below-body [http://www.w3.org/International/docs/html-bidi-requirements/#vertical-scrollbar-below-body] . Here is the proposal made there: The HTML and CSS specifications should state that the vertical scrollbar of an element below <body> and of the <body> element of a document being displayed in a frame or iframe should be on the "end" side relative to the element's direction. 39980 1 mjs 2010-09-29 16:28:08 +0000 Seems like an issue for CSS, since whether the scrollbar appears at all is controlled by CSS properties. 40594 2 ian 2010-10-04 23:53:17 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Where the scroll bars render is a presentational concern, and out of scope for HTML. HTML barely mentions scroll bars, in fact (and only in relation to historical APIs).
