> Asking differently, especially given that it doesn't obviously fall out of how things work, I'd like to see a use-case for wanting scrollbars based on the intrinsic size when there's not actual content to scroll to. As anecdotal evidence, and not at all first hand experience, it is common for developers implementing virtual scrollers to have spacer divs placed inside scrollers in order to size the scrollbar to give the impression of long content. When the user scrolls close to the region without "real" content, script would shrink the spacer and replace it with "real" content instead. If intrinsic-height is considered during overflow calculation (ie for overflow purposes, it would the max of intrinsic-height and the height of real contents), then this pattern is much easier achieved by simply specifying the intrinsic-height of the scroller. There would be no need to fiddle with or recalculate the size of the spacer, which wouldn't be required at all. -- GitHub Notification of comment by vmpstr Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4415#issuecomment-551144184 using your GitHub account
