Vertical Scroll Appearing in Task Pane Add-in for Outlook Web Version
Dear Microsoft Team, I am currently developing a task pane add-in for Outlook, and I've encountered an issue where a vertical scroll bar appears in the task pane when using the web version of O...
Hallo!
We have a similar problem with our Outlook plugin. A scroll bar appears for some users, but not for others. The difference I have noticed in the plugin is that the HTML markup and the CSS styles outside the iframe are different. For example, ‘FlexPane_’ styles are used for the users for whom the scrollbar appears and ‘ms-layer’, ‘ms-fabric’, ‘ms-panel’ are used for those where this does not occur. Which styles are used obviously depends on the logged in user and not on the computer on which it is installed.
Our plugin is also used for appointments, here the problem does not occur. However, I noticed during the appointments that the plugin generally gets more space on the left and right.
I hope this information helps with troubleshooting.
Best regards
Andreas

Dear Andreas,
Thank you very much for shared information.
I will send it to my colleague fronted, but as I understand we are not able to assign styles outside of taskpane container.
Hallo Chiril,
You may already know this, but this is a general problem that will be resolved as soon as possible. https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js/issues/5051 .
Hallo Akocom,
Thank you a lot for provided information.
I hope Microsoft Team will see this message and impact on fast resolving of this issue.
Hallo Chiril,
No problem. Yes, that is correct. We can only influence the styles in the iframe. Microsoft is responsible for those outside. I hope they look into it soon.
