overflow: auto div shouldn't be scrollable when there is an extra space at the bottom. Other browsers don't scroll either. This usually blocks scrolling the main page. I used <br> to add space to bottom in this test case. But this affects when padding or margin is specified too.

Test case:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style>
        div { background: lightgrey; overflow: auto; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
top
<div>
    aa<br>
</div>
bottom
</body>
</html>

In this test case, div is not overflowed but when you scroll in the div's area, it tries to scroll the div which is supposed to stay still.
