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
