Summary

Removes the overflow:overlay scrolling mode, and makes overlay a legacy alias of auto. overflow:overlay is the same as overflow:auto, except that it does not prevent content from extending into the scrollbar gutter, in cases where non-overlay OS scrollbars are present. (If overlay scrollbars are present, there is no effect.) Example: With overflow:overlay: https://output.jsbin.com/yujenuq/quiet With overflow:auto: https://output.jsbin.com/ruzogaf/quiet
