I don't mean to be disagreeable, but I think this is *extremely* unfortunate.  It's taken so long already to get any action accomplished on this, and the end result doesn't appear to actually fix the issue at all.  Setting overflow:hidden on body should prevent scrolling.  Period.  No exceptions.

There needs to be other mechanisms to deal with special browser UI situations--not overriding standard rendering engine mechanics.  Why can't tapping on the header suffice for revealing the other UI components?  If progress were being made rapidly I'd be more forgiving, but it just feels very defeating because this likely means we'll still not see a true resolution for years to come given the history of this issue.

At the very least until this issue is actually resolved there needs to be a way for a site to easily disable any hiding of the browser UI components (so as to prevent the possibility of body scrolling at all).  This is very important for a variety of situations like menu bars, modals, etc.  Can we please make progress quickly on this?

While I understand the need to file a new bug from a technical perspective, I feel there should be some continuity here because this bug really isn't resolved if scrolling can happen at all.
