</html>On my webpage displayed in the code above.
Due to setting a minimum width for .content, I had to include overflow-x: auto; in .wrap.
The .content contains an absolute element.
Outcome:
As shown in the image, a single scroll bar appears.
If I were to remove overflow-x: auto; from .wrap:

.content {

background-color: green;
}
.absolute {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
right: 0;
background-color: red;
height: 200px;
width: 100px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrap">
<div class="content">
<div class="absolute"></div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>overflow-x: auto; triggers scrolling when a child has an absolute element. However, I still require overflow-x: auto; for scrollability of the content on smaller screens.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?
