Thanks @Loirooriol So the behavior is stated quite clearly in the [resolution](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6026#issuecomment-1832443514) text: > if overflow:scroll is set on the root element (not propagated from body), account for the default scrollbar width in the size of vw. In practice, this means that if `overflow: scroll` is applied directly to the root element and the viewport is 1000px wide with an 18px scrollbar on the side, the browser still treats the viewport as 1000px wide (100vw = 1000px), even though only 982px are actually visible. This behavior doesn't seem consistent with the statement: > "**The computed values of the viewport-percentage lengths in that axis are reduced in accordance with the initial containing block.**" or at least, the behavior isn't clearly conveyed. Please consider updating the spec to more explicitly reflect the behavior described in the resolution text above. -- GitHub Notification of comment by gitspeaks Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12518#issuecomment-3112873396 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
