I have an area in a page that I'm using the overflow property to create scrollbars. Worked fine in 1.0.7 but when "upgrading" to 1.5, the scrollbars no longer display. Here's the css that I'm using:

.scrollWrapperMoz{
overflow:auto;
margin-right:16px;
}

What has changed in 1.5 to keep this from working?

Works fine for me. What HTML do you have?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld dorr! I can't see anything in particular wrong with the CSS you have posted either, so there may be a clash with another style or another element. Does your HTML and CSS validate? Could you post a short snippet of your associated markup which shows the problem?

With overflow:auto you should only get scrollbars if the contents of .scrollWrapperMoz is too big to fit in it. Is it possible the contents can now fit? What is restricting the size of .scrollWrapperMoz - try setting a width and height?

You could try overflow:scroll to force the display of scrollbars - but then you'll get scrollbars whether you need them or not.

In my experience overflow:auto works the same in both FF1.0.4 and FF1.5
