Readthedocs.org: docs don't scroll on chrome

Created on 7 May 2018 · 14Comments · Source: readthedocs/readthedocs.org

Details

Read the Docs project URL: all

Expected Result

The docs should scroll when they are longer than the visible webpage

Actual Result

It doesn't scroll in Chrome Version 66.0.3359.139 (Official Build) (64-bit). I tested in incognito to ensure it's not a plugin or something else local to my installation of the browser. Sidebar works fine. Seems to work ok on Safari Version 11.1 (13605.1.33.1.4).

Bug filed for Chrome and should be fixed in Chrome 67: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=838494#c10

Disabling 'Experimental Web Platform features' flag at chrome://flags/ seems to fix the issue in Chrome 66.

It appears it only happens with an experimental flag enabled in chrome://flags. I made another issue here (which was the original place I saw issue, and was frustrated that I couldn't read the NodeMCU docs.) I think I must have enabled this a while ago, and forgotten about it.

Mac: macOS 10.13.4 (17E202)
Chrome: Version 66.0.3359.139 (Official Build) (64-bit)

It could also be a bug in the latest Chrome, because I never had this issue before. I'm working on MacOS 10.13.4 (17E202) and using the 64-bit version of Chrome 66.0.3359.139.

When I disable the overflow-x rule on the <body> with Chrome Devtools everything works as expected.

My version is same. I also disabled overflow-x and got it working.

Maybe the same issue as https://github.com/rtfd/sphinx_rtd_theme/issues/636? If so, that is a chrome bug, not from rtd.

Can overflow-x: hidden be just removed from CSS?

alexeyraspopov on 14 May 2018

Removing overflow-x: hidden does also make it possible to scroll for me again.

I just updated to the latest stable 66.0.3359.170 and it seems that the issue reported and marked as resolved landed it's changes in that version. Works with latest stable.

@Fohlen thanks for the update, @konsumer can you try that solution?

stsewd on 14 May 2018

@stsewd: As I said, it worked fine when I disabled the experimental chrome features, so I just did that (I don't even remember why I originally enabled those.)

konsumer on 14 May 2018

@konsumer can we close this then?

Closing this, as is more a google chrome bug not rtd.

This still occurs with Experimental Web Platform features enabled on Chrome 67. But disabling Experimental Web Platform features still resolves it.
