Right edge of content covered by vertical scrollbar in centered div

Question

I'd like to create a centered popup with a title and one or more cards under it. Each card contains a small table. When there are more cards than can be displayed, a vertical scrollbar appears. But there is problem: the vertical scrollbar covers the right edge of the cards.

The behavior depends on the browser:

• Chrome: The problem appears when the page is refreshed, but disappears when the page is resized.
• Firefox: The problem is more serious, because it doesn't disappear on page resize. There is also a horizontal scrollbar.

The HTML+CSS code that reproduces the problem:

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
}

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  min-height: 500px;
}

div#container {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  min-height: 500px;
  background: coral;
}

div#frame {
  padding: 15px;
  background: lightgreen;
}

h1 {
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  font-size: 20px;
}

div#content {
  max-height: 300px;
  overflow-y: auto;
  background: lightblue;
}

div.card {
  display: table;
  padding: 10px;
  background: lightyellow;
  font-size: 15px;
}

div.card:not(.last-card) {
  margin-bottom: 5px;  
}

table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

td {
  padding: 5px;
  background: lightpink;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

The above snippet viewer does not show the problem in Chrome, so here is a jsfiddle test page which does:

• open the jsfiddle page,
• press F5 to refresh it (the problem appears), then
• resize the results area (the problem disapears).

UPDATE

In the end I used the original idea of @Rayees-AC: I changed overflow-y: auto to overflow-y: scroll. His other ideas (hiding the scrollbar entirely or removing white-space: nowrap) couldn't be used in my case. I'm grateful for him and @Giant-Realistic-Flying-Tiger for working on this problem!

Answer 1

#1 - Without showing scrollbarscroll enabled

---

I changed below code.

div#content {
  -ms-overflow-style: none;  /* Internet Explorer 10+ */
  scrollbar-width: none;
}
div#content::-webkit-scrollbar { 
  display: none; /* Safari and Chrome */
}

I added another div named class wrapper

.wrapper{
      width: 100%;
      height: 100%;
      overflow: hidden;
}

Try this snippet

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
}

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  min-height: 500px;
}

div#container {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  min-height: 500px;
  background: coral;
}

div#frame {
  padding: 15px;
  background: lightgreen;
}

h1 {
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  font-size: 20px;
}
.wrapper{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
}
div#content {
  max-height: 300px;
  overflow-y: auto;
  background: lightblue;
  -ms-overflow-style: none;  /* Internet Explorer 10+ */
  scrollbar-width: none;
}
div#content::-webkit-scrollbar { 
  display: none;
}

div.card {
  display: table;
  padding: 10px;
  background: lightyellow;
  font-size: 15px;
}

div.card:not(.last-card) {
  margin-bottom: 5px;  
}

table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

td {
  padding: 5px;
  background: lightpink;
