Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow-3] Reserved scroller space between content edge and padding edge (#11288)

>The devtools don't say where the edges are...

Of course it does. The devtools clearly show the perimeter establishing each area, which, by definition, represents an "edge." It’s very clear that the gutter is placed inside the padding area. While its width is not added to the indicated width, it is visibly rendered in green and bounded by the padding perimeter.

As for the illustration:

This doesn’t make sense to me. The border area is defined as the space between the padding edge and the border edge. What you’re calling "inner border" is actually the padding edge. Under the current [definition of edges as perimeters](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-box-4/#box-edges), there is no additional "area between edges" beyond what is already specified.
