125832 - Browser should always show vertical scroller

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 72540

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect)

Description

[Johnny Proton]

I am a web developer.  Web pages within a given site are not always the same height.

Upon jumping from a "short" page (with no scrollbar) to a "tall" page (with a
scrollbar) the layout appears to jump to the left.  Displaying the scrollbar on
all pages will alleviate this problem, and designers will still be able to turn
the bar off by using window.open().

Other than this small issue, Mozilla does a *great* job of eliminating flashes
when travelling from one page to another.

Actually, the content of the page only jumps when you are viewing a layout that
is centered.

I couldn't disagree more. From a user standpoint, a scrollbar is a waste of
space. Unless it's needed, why have it there.
