Scroll bar always on right side in Oxygen XML Webhelp v26.0

[chrispitude]

Starting with the v26.0 release of WebHelp, there is always a scroll bar placeholder on the right side of Chrome browser windows:

The window is high enough that no scroll bar actually appears, but the placeholder is still there and cannot be removed.

In v26.0, this happens only with Chrome and browsers that use the Chromium engine (e.g. Edge). Firefox does not do this.

In v25.1 and earlier releases, this does not happen in any browser.

Does anyone else see this?

It seems to be caused by this CSS rule:

Code: Select all

html{overflow-y:scroll

which is in

out/oxygen-webhelp/app/topic.css

This rule is not there in the 25.1 output. If I comment it out or set the property to "auto", the problem is avoided.

Thank you for reporting this!

Indeed, this behavior was introduced in v26 as a side effect of an issue from the search page. I have registered it in our internal issue tracker to be analyzed and fixed in the next minor version.
