Hi Ryan,
Relating to the unwanted scrollbars, our developer has come up with the
following findings:-
In the beginning of each gadget Shindig library puts some small bit of CSS
code. It looks like this:
html, body {
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
width: 100%;
}
It's hard to say why this gets injected. For me it looks unnecessary to have
such properties for each gadget by default. iGoogle doesn't inject anything
similar and when I tried to put this piece of code on iGoogle (in Firebug)
same scrollbars appeared there. The problem can be easily solved by
resetting these properties back to default in the gadget's body. Of course
it is valid only for those gadgets whose code can be controlled by us.
Third-party gadgets which happened to have those scrollbars will keep them.
Ryan are you able to shed some light on this injection of css code and
whether it can be removed?
Kind regards,
Darren

Can you reproduce the issues the sample common container in Shindig?
Or better yet build us a simple container that can reproduce the
issue?
