Hi webkit-dev,
This is a request for WebKit's position on the CSS "scrollbar-gutter"
property. The spec status is Working Draft. This feature is already
implemented in Chrome behind a flag.
Spec:
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-4/#scrollbar-gutter-property
Explainer:
https://github.com/felipeerias/scrollbar-gutter-explainer
Existing WebKit bug:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167335
Summary:
The scrollbar-gutter property provides control over the presence of
scrollbar gutters (the space which may be reserved to display a scrollbar).
This gives Web authors more agency over how their layouts interact with
the scrollbars provided by the browser, so they can e.g. prevent
excessive layout changes as content expands while avoiding unwanted
visuals when scrolling isn't needed.
Thanks!
Best.
Felipe
