Is there a way to fix elements (esp top right) to the visual viewport in chrome mobile?
We want to show very large images that the website visitor will zoom in and out of. The viewer needs to be able to see the whole picture and then target small areas to inspect. We will load images much wider than the screen available. Say from 1500 to 6000px wide.
As well as the above we want fixed elements for navigation in the top left and top right.
On Webkit/Safari we get the behaviour we want.
Chrome/Android mobile (initial load):
Chrome/Android mobile (zooming all the way out):
Chrome on mobile seems to want to fix the top right div off screen to the layout viewport. Ie the green fixed top right div is off the screen till you zoom all the way out to the whole pic.
These specs seem to suggest this is by design in Chrome.
Setting minimum-scale=1 would superficially seem to resolve this, but it disables zooming in/out which makes this NOT the solution.
Is there a solution to get Chrome to behave the same as Webkit/Safari? Solutions involving Javascript probably acceptable.

The cleanest solution would be to place the image inside an element with width: 100%; overflow: auto;
For height of the parent element you could use calc(100% - X) where X is the height of the navbar (this is assuming you want the image to take up the entire screen unless zoomed out).
See below for full example.
EDIT: I have updated the answer below with help from this codepen [https://codepen.io/techslides/pen/zowLd] for the zooming and panning inside a canvas element. You can also add an event listener to check for window resize and redraw the canvas as needed.
var canvas = document.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0];
canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight - 20;
var canvasimage = new Image;
window.onload = function() {
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
trackTransforms(ctx);
function redraw() {
// Clear the entire canvas
var p1 = ctx.transformedPoint(0, 0);
var p2 = ctx.transformedPoint(canvas.width, canvas.height);
ctx.clearRect(p1.x, p1.y, p2.x - p1.x, p2.y - p1.y);
ctx.save();
ctx.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0);
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
ctx.restore();
ctx.drawImage(canvasimage, 0, 0);
}
redraw();
var lastX = canvas.width / 2,
lastY = canvas.height / 2;
var dragStart, dragged;
canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', function(evt) {
document.body.style.mozUserSelect = document.body.style.webkitUserSelect = document.body.style.userSelect = 'none';
lastX = evt.offsetX || (evt.pageX - canvas.offsetLeft);
lastY = evt.offsetY || (evt.pageY - canvas.offsetTop);
dragStart = ctx.transformedPoint(lastX, lastY);
dragged = false;
}, false);
canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', function(evt) {
lastX = evt.offsetX || (evt.pageX - canvas.offsetLeft);
lastY = evt.offsetY || (evt.pageY - canvas.offsetTop);
dragged = true;
if (dragStart) {
var pt = ctx.transformedPoint(lastX, lastY);
ctx.translate(pt.x - dragStart.x, pt.y - dragStart.y);
redraw();
}
}, false);
canvas.addEventListener('mouseup', function(evt) {
dragStart = null;
if (!dragged) zoom(evt.shiftKey ? -1 : 1);
}, false);
var scaleFactor = 1.1;
var zoom = function(clicks) {
var pt = ctx.transformedPoint(lastX, lastY);
ctx.translate(pt.x, pt.y);
var factor = Math.pow(scaleFactor, clicks);
ctx.scale(factor, factor);
ctx.translate(-pt.x, -pt.y);
redraw();
}
var handleScroll = function(evt) {
var delta = evt.wheelDelta ? evt.wheelDelta / 40 : evt.detail ? -evt.detail : 0;
if (delta) zoom(delta);
return evt.preventDefault() && false;
};
canvas.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', handleScroll, false);
canvas.addEventListener('mousewheel', handleScroll, false);
};
