I’ve got a very simple test case:
<html>
<body>
<div style="border:2px solid black; overflow: auto;">
x
</div>
</body>
</html>
When I render it, I get a horizontal scrollbar!
I had been using FF 3.0.3 for Linux, and thought it might be a browser bug, so I upgraded to FF 3.5b4 (the latest release candidate). Still happens.
Is this supposed to happen? Should I file a bug report? Does anyone know of a workaround (edit: one that allows me to continue using overflow:auto)?
There shouldn’t be scroll bars for overflow:auto unless the content is actually going beyond the edges of the containing element. This is a bug in Linux versions of Firefox. See the following bug report.
