Increased height of iPad screen in landscape mode with no body content displayed (iOS7)

The issue:
An unusual problem occurs when the specified URL is loaded on an iOS7 iPad in landscape mode; a vertical scrollbar appears. There is absolutely no content within the body, and it seems to be adjusting the body/html margin/padding. It should be noted that this test-case is intentionally minimalistic, hence the absence of content and the blank page.

Check out the demo here:
http://fiddle.jshell.net/AKRCa/show/

Solutions I've attempted:
I have tried adjusting the viewport settings to:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

as well as

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0">

Additional information:
Unfortunately, I do not have access to an iPad running iOS6 for testing purposes. However, when I tested the demo on an iPad3 running iOS6 using browserstack, no scrollbar was present. Therefore, it seems that this bug is exclusive to iOS7.

Notably, iPhone portrait mode does not exhibit the scrollbar issue, but it does appear in iPhone landscape mode.

Answer №1

After conducting several tests (you can see the results here), I have come to a conclusion about two key points:

  1. The issue with webkit-scrolling does not impact the actual height of your website/app, suggesting it may not be a bug.

  2. If you are developing a single page app, incorporating the following JS code is recommended to prevent scroll events and eliminate problems like springy over scroll effect or vertical scrollbar issues:

    document.ontouchmove = function(event){
  event.preventDefault();
}

My experiments on JsFiddle showcase these findings. Hopefully, this information proves helpful!
