pydata-sphinx-theme There is always a scrollbar shown in the primary sidebar

No matter how short the primary sidebar content is, I always get a scrollbar, even though it seems to be set to auto, as far as I understand the css code. Tested with 0.13.0 and 0.12.0.

I've noticed this as well. For me, it only shows up in Chrome, but looks fine in Firefox. It seems to me to be caused by the sidebar end section, because this custom css fixes it for me (I have no content in that section).

.sidebar-primary-items__end {
    margin-bottom: 0 !important;
    margin-top: 0 !important;
}

I get that behaviour in both Firefox and Edge on Windows.

The custom.css works for me with 0.13.0. Thanks vkbo. I did not think about the sidebar end section as it is empty for me as well.

is it a "y" scrollbar or a "x" scrollbar ?

It's vertical. At least it was in my case. Seemingly caused by the top and bottom margins of the __end box.

I was also referring to a y-scrollbar (vertical).

ok perfect because we had another "x" scrollbar issue and I was sure it was solved with 0.13

I have the same issue with Chrome and Safari (on macOS). Chrome renders a vertical sidebar, whereas Safari renders both vertical and horizontal scrollbars, even though the content easily fits into the available space. If it helps, I can post screenshots and/or margins/paddings for both browsers.

Safari (showing mne.tools):

Chrome looks the same, but only shows the vertical scrollbar.

Could you try it again with the main branch, we actually removed the custom scrollbar which may have solve this issue as a side effect.

Nope, this didn't change anything: https://output.circle-artifacts.com/output/job/f85ea057-af56-418e-9d53-abd191e8c936/artifacts/0/html/index.html

I use version 0.13.3 and have the same observation in Chrome and Brave. The workaround from https://github.com/pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme/issues/1238#issuecomment-1463465620 worked for me and the scrollbars disappear. Thanks.

Waiting for a new release so I can drop the workaround :wink:

Linking sphinx-book-theme #732 to this issue as sphinx-book-theme appears affected downstream by pydata-sphinx-theme.

I still experience this issue on sphinx-book-theme==1.0.1.

Sep 20 '23 22:09 adam-grant-hendry

#1238 (comment) also worked for me (i.e. completely removed the scrollbar).

Follow-up: I don't mind the narrow scrollbar quite so much, but mine renders with an ugly large scrollbar like in sphinx-book-theme #732.

Is anyone else suffering from this?
Does anyone know how to make the scrollbar slim and dark until hovered like this?

I agree that https://github.com/pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme/issues/1238#issuecomment-1463465620 is a good workaround. The problem is here:
