Hello,
The displayed page I checked with is smaller than the widget and theres nothing 
to scroll on the page.However the scroll bars still appear. 

In webkit(not webkit2) the problem as was discussed previously in this forum is 
a bit different. There, if i create a scroll widget, then set the scroll policy 
to GTK_POLICY_NEVER and add a webview to the scroll widget, still
the scroll bars appear. 

For example, if the sample is as following
           
           window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
           webView = WEBKIT_WEB_VIEW(webkit_web_view_new());
           scrolledWindow = gtk_scrolled_window_new(NULL, NULL);
           gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy(GTK_SCROLLED_WINDOW(scrolledWindow), 
GTK_POLICY_NEVER, GTK_POLICY_NEVER);
           gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(scrolledWindow), 
GTK_WIDGET(webView));
           gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), GTK_WIDGET(scrolledWindow));
 
and then if i load and display a webpage, the scroll bars still appear.

         However, if i change the code to something like this.
  
           window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
           webView = WEBKIT_WEB_VIEW(webkit_web_view_new());
           eventbox = gtk_event_box_new();
           gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(eventbox), GTK_WIDGET(webView));
           gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), GTK_WIDGET(eventbox));

and display a webpage, then no scroll bars appear.

     However if i use webkit2 API and write a similar sample as,
           window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
           webView = WKViewCreate(WKContextGetSharedProcessContext(), 0);
           eventbox = gtk_event_box_new();
           gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(eventbox), GTK_WIDGET(webView));
           gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), GTK_WIDGET(eventbox));

and load and display the same webpage as i did previously, the
scroll bars still appear. :(. 
    Can you provide me some information on this and on how(if i can) to 
    disable the scroll bars when i use webkit2.
