Overflow-x: hidden Causes Vertical Scroll Bar To Disappear on Android

Some people use this responsive CSS to avoid horizontal scrolling on mobile phones:

body, html {
      overflow-x:hidden;
}

But I find that it causes the vertical scroll bar to disappear on Android phones. This was the case on an Samsung Galaxy S3. So, I don’t use overflow-x:hidden for responsive web design.

Instead, I use the following. If the rest of your code is decent, as in no widths exceeding 100%, and you have your viewport meta tag in place, then the following CSS avoids the horizontal scrolling.

* {	-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
		-moz-box-sizing:    border-box;
		box-sizing:         border-box;
}
