html - Why does an overflow:auto scrollbar take width out of my div? -


i have absolutely positioned div, overflow:auto.

when overflows vertically, vertical scrollbar appears. appears within div (even though isn't fixed width), shrinks space available div's contents. in case, causes text wrap unnecessarily, undesirable.

see https://jsfiddle.net/hktgcrj0/ - shrink page until div overflows , scroll bar appears - see text wrap.

is there way make scrollbar appear outside of div, or increase width of div accommodate scroll bar?

note application (the fiddle massively simplified) giving div fixed width not option, , disabling text wrapping not option.

try adding:

div { white-space: nowrap; }

or wrap inner elements in <p> tags , apply white-space: nowrap; that.
