Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-backgrounds] `background-clip: content-box` with scrollbar (#11169)

The CSS Working Group just discussed ``[css-backgrounds] `background-clip: content-box` with scrollbar``, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Keep spec. Add tests. Revisit if implementers notice a problem.`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;fantasai> oriol: If you set background-clip padding-box, it includes the scrollbar gutters<br>
&lt;fantasai> oriol: but spec is unclear about the content-box<br>
&lt;fantasai> oriol: but browser do content-box + scrollbar gutter<br>
&lt;fantasai> oriol: seems weird though<br>
&lt;fantasai> oriol: I would propose to keep spec and browsers are wrong<br>
&lt;fantasai> astearns: Opinions from implementers?<br>
&lt;fantasai> emilio: I agree with oriol<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> Agree, as drive-by webdev opinion.<br>
&lt;fantasai> astearns: so propose to keep spec and add WPT tests<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: overlay scrollbars?<br>
&lt;fantasai> TabAtkins: they have no gutter<br>
&lt;fantasai> PROPOSED: Keep spec. Add tests.<br>
&lt;fantasai> oriol: This is only observable with classical scrollbars<br>
&lt;fantasai> emilio: Tests should be valid in both<br>
&lt;fantasai> ntim: WPT is forcing classic scrollbars already<br>
&lt;fantasai> ntim: We should see if implementers have any objections afterwards<br>
&lt;fantasai> astearns: certainly<br>
&lt;fantasai> RESOLVED: Keep spec. Add tests. Revisit if implementers notice a problem.<br>
