Scroll bar appearing and disappearing causes navbar and page contents to shift

[cfeist]

If you're using the same navbar on many pages of your site and some are long enough for the vertical scroll bar to show up and some aren't you'll see shifting in the navbar and page info.

Example here:
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/download.html

Click between the navbar items "Customize" and "Examples" and you'll see the navbar shift left and right.

yeah - nothing to really do about that. That's just how the web works.

html { 
  overflow-y: scroll; 
}

In case anyone comes across this in search.

@drewhjava Thanks! Worked like a champ for me.

Great, worked for me as well. Fat's comment was quite funny, though.

Thanks drewhjava, that worked great for me too. Sure am glad fat would rather just be snarky than help.

I use overflow-y to force a scroll bar, it has proved useful. You can try
that.

overflow-y:scroll;

Using this workaround will cause shifting when modals open.
