1418515 - vertical scroll bar set to show when disabled/not needed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1407770

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, defect)

Description

[pricrieb]

firefox 57 activity-stream.css lines 91-96:
body {
  background: #F9F9FA;
  color: #0C0C0D;
  font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', 'Ubuntu', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  overflow-y: scroll; }

the overflow-y being set to "scroll" means the vertical scrollbar gets displayed even when it isn't needed and isn't usable (with buttons disabled and no draggable part)

shouldn't overflow-y be set to "auto"? with it set as is, the disabled scrollbar displays for me when newtab is set to show only the search field; when I set to "auto", however, it displays (correctly) without the vertical scrollbar in that case, and of course with it set to "auto" the scrollbar automatically gets added when other newtab page features are enabled that cause a scrollbar to be necessary.
