Details
In the above URL, the background-position puts the background image in the
upper right corner. This image is placed correctly before the scrollbar is
drawn, but then it is not moved when the scrollbar is drawn
and a horizontal scrollbar is created to allow one to see the whole background
image.
This raises a number of interesting points:
1) In the overflow property, where do scrollbars go? This isn't defined in
the spec, and should probably be clarified. The problem in the above URL
is a good example to help think about how it should be defined. I tend to
think that a scrollbar should go, perhaps, in a gap between the right border
and the right padding. (i.e., be placed in the right padding and increase
the padding by the width of the scrollbar) Is this how you do it? I'm not
sure. I guess I'll raise this on www-style...
2) If the above answer is adequate (and I think my suggestion is), could you
do scrolling on the document simply by defining "HTML { overflow: auto; }"?

See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/1999Jan/0078.html for my post
to www-style, if you're interested.
As far as question #1 goes, yes the scrollbar is positioned in a gap between the
border and the padding
Now I see the problem. Even though it looks like we're widening the window to
make the background visible, that's not the case.
The problem is that we've partially switched over to a new approach for
calculating the CSS2 computed info, but the block/inline code (block in
particular) isn't converted yet.
