Rally HTML app always forces browser scroll bar - how to avoid this?

Question

I've noticed that when I add an HTML app in Rally/Agile Central, the height doesn't fit/adjust within the browser windows. This means that a vertical scrollbar is always added.

I'm using Chrome and Firebox, but they both have this problem.

Is there a way to limit the height of the custom app?E.g., to (height - 25) so that the browser scroll bar is not necessary?

Answer 1

Can you share some of your code? It might help in diagnosing what's going on. A couple ideas though...

Are you using a layout for your app? This often can help with scrollbar issues. This guide may be helpful for learning to work with layouts: https://docs.ca.com/ca-agile-central/saas/apps/2.1/doc/#!/guide/layouts

If you're just using auto layout (the default, if you didn't explicitly specify one) then you can also try adding autoScroll: false to your app's config. Note this may cause your content to be clipped if you do actually need a scrollbar though.

Answer 2

Here is an examle with the std list app - and it's the same whether there is anything to show or not.

I'm thinking that it is the HTML app that doesn't take into account that there is a page title, in this case "*test layout scroll bars" - and somehow uses the "full height" = the entire frame (I'm not an html/css expert)
