Yeah, why is every image, heading, and paragraph on that page surrounded by scro...

In their CSS, they have a rule for every <p> tag to have "overflow: scroll" for some reason. Not sure why they didn't use the default value for overflow, since there's nothing on that page that needs to be specifically told to scroll.

Probably, they tried it and it worked.

This incidentally led to the bug that they're blogging about too.

Yeah, it's likely that they're all using Macs and have never checked their website on a Windows machine.

What browser are you using? I'm not seeing that here on my devices...? We are using pretty vanilla Bootstrap.

This is what I see in Chrome on OSX.

Are your devices Apple devices by any chance?

We had a similar bug reported at work recently, and it turned out that Windows browsers will always show scrollbars but the ones running on OS X/iOS will hide them until you start scrolling.

To turn them on in OS X, go to System Preferences > General and set Show scroll bars to "Always".

The issue is you've got the following CSS on lines 31-33 of blog.css:

body.blog .blog-post p { overflow: scroll; }
