I too agree that ignoring the size of scrollbars when overflow is "auto" makes more sense than accounting for them. As you mentioned, if authors really expect to have scrollbars on the viewport and they're using viewport units they can simply specify overflow:sroll and be done with it. > The only argument I continue to have against it is that overflow-x/y isn't yet > specified anywhere, and it's *required* in order to get vw to shrink for > scrollbars while vh is the real height.

Overflow-x/y is in the box module http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box/#overflow Thanks, Rossen
