IE8 overflow:scroll bug

Since this wasn’t immediately apparent to me when googling “IE8 overflow scroll” I figured I should post the solution to get more awareness.

Using overflow: scroll; and a max-height on an element causes the entire webpage to display white. That’s right. On any element.

Changing the overflow to auto fixed the problem.

I hope that helps anyone in the future. I hope that the world can stop using IE8 soon. How ridiculous.
