Thanks for the response. The first method prevents me from having vertical scrolling, so any content I wanted to display via scrolling is now gone. The second method will clip any content that's under the vertical scrollbar. This shouldn't be a problem because that canvas is percentage based and shouldn't have anything there, but since it's confused and always draws itself wider than it has room, there will always be content there. I can add extra padding to that side to compensate, but then when there is no vertical scrollbar, I have uneven padding around my content.
