1050812 - Consider adding a CSS property to disable overscroll/snapback

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 951793

(Core :: Panning and Zooming, defect)

Description

[Kartikaya Gupta (email:[e-mail])]

Now that we have overscrolling on Firefox OS we're finding a few places where it's kind of undesirable. Bug 1050789 describes one scenario. It might be worth having a CSS property to disable this behavior. I'm not aware of any property that already does this and a quick search didn't turn up anything either.

Sounds right to me.

Chromium sent an intent-to-implement for this: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/blink-dev/Uzit4zDQ1ps/pD_3k2rqBAAJ

Note that bug 951793 is similar.

This is currently being discussion as scroll-boundary-behavior under the WICG:
https://github.com/WICG/scroll-boundary-behavior/issues

All discussion is welcome in this repo. I'll start a spec draft in the repo after a bit more discussion (or lack of) has happened.

This will be handled by 'scroll-boundary-behavior'.

(It looks like the other spec mentioned in this bug [1] has been abandoned [2] in favour of 'scroll-boundary-behavior'.)
