Description Tab Atkins Jr. 2012-10-27 12:04:34 UTC 
What happens to vw/vh when the viewport does/doesn't have scrollbars?

Note that since these are resolved at computed time, but the presence of scrollbars isn't determined until layout time, this is a hard problem.

(Obvious solution - force everyone to switch to overlay scrollbars. ^_^)
