(Restating the problem: I want to be able to scroll the contents of a WebView without displaying any scrollbars. Assume for simplicity that we're talking about really boring HTML, I realise that frames and the CSS overflow property are separate issues.)

This has been quite helpful in clearing up why I'm getting the results I am, but I don't know if I'm any closer to a solution. I tried hooking this up to the ScrolledWindow's size-request signal: void scrolled_win_size_allocate(GtkWidget *scrolled_win, GtkAllocation *allocation) { gtk_widget_size_allocate(GTK_WIDGET(uzbl.gui.web_view), allocation); } But this seems to have the same result as gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy(sw, AUTO, AUTO), i.e. scrollbars appear when the page content is bigger than the size that has been allocated to the WebView. > This is not specific to WebKitGTK+, it's also how GtkTextView works. This is why I'm confused; there's some difference between the two, because I can easily make a TextView in a ScrolledWindow that is scrollable, limited to the size of its parent container, and does not display scrollbars.[1] The same technique used to work with a WebView. At some point it stopped working; now the WebView ends up in its natural size, most of which is offscreen. > I asked if the problem was in a specific page because even after you've > done all of the above, some pages will still display scrollbars, like > gmail, because it uses tricks to make the contents be the size of the > browser's viewport and then uses html structures to create the > scrollable part. Yes, I'm aware that this is a separate issue.
