It's happening in win7 and winxp, not sure about other platforms. Here's an example extension: http://dev.upup.us/chromeextensions/popup_overflow.crx
and screenshots http://dev.upup.us/chromeextensions/overflow/win7.png http://dev.upup.us/chromeextensions/overflow/winxp.png This is with the popup body width set to 300px, but it looks the same with body width unset and p {width:300px;}. The only way I've been able to keep the scrollbar from covering content is by setting child element widths to around 20px less than the body width, or adding padding so that no actual content is underneath the scrollbar. This does not look great when the content is short enough not to need scrollbars though. On Sun, Dec 13, 2009 at 2:30 AM, Aaron Boodman <a...@google.com> wrote: > Not by design.
