Details

I've noticed with trunk builds lately that a few sites have no vertical
scrollbars when they should. Along with the URL above, here's another URL:
http://beta.exalead.com/search/C=0/?2p=Technology

According to reporter data, I'm not the first person to notice this:
http://reporter.mozilla.org/app/query/?host_hostname=ccollomb.free.fr&submit_query=true

I've confirmed with today's 1.0.5 nightly that this bug does not exist in the
Aviary branch. It's unique to the trunk. Moreso, the Javascript Console for the
Aviary build is completely clean, while the trunk has the following error:
"Error: Error in parsing value for property 'float'.  Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/
Line: 129"

I've confirmed the bug exists whether ads are blocked or not.

On older trunk builds (like, September 2004), there's no scrollbar, but the site
still scrolls OK. Between the 10-08-2004 and 10-09-2004 nightlies, scrolling on
the site breaks completely.
Nominating to block 1.1 since this is a regression from the Aviary branch.

That page has overflow-y:hidden on the <body>. When I remove that, the page
displays just fine.
So this started happening when Mozilla started to support the overflow-y property.

The same is the case with http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ , there the
overflow-y:hidden property is set on the <html> element.

So these sites should adjust their css.

This is what that CSS is supposed to do... they need to fix that.
