Review the scroll functionality in the slideshow about nbconvert HOT 7 CLOSED

For a reference, this is previous discussion of the same topic: ipython/ipython/issues/3589

Personally I completely agree with all @bollwyvl's arguments, and I found the scrolls in presentations to be a huge pain which required a lot of manual tweaking.

I run into the scrollbar problem when migrating my old IPython notebook slides to the new jupyter version, and suddenly my formulas on the slides are surrounded by scrollbars in both x and y directions, I've tried to put the following text into my custom.css, and regenerate the slides.html using nbconvert, but the scroll bars still show up. Any suggestions on how can I remove the scrollbars from the html/reveal slides generated from nbconvert?

.reveal {
overflow-y: hidden;
}

@yadongli this issue is about different scrollbars. Your problem is rather related to #38, but different. Do you mind opening a new issue with an example notebook that reproduces the problem? (as far as I can tell, this issue wasn't reported yet)

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have submitted a new issue #152, thanks!

I am working on this in PR #600

Essentially I default now to disable the scrolling functionality, but still the user have the option to activate the scrolling (which is now per slide, not the whole slide) just adding the option

--SlidesExporter.reveal_scroll=True

at the command line.

PR #600 was merged. Now scrolling is False by default and you can turn it on with the option I showed in the previous comment. Closing this one now.

Sorry to raise an ancient thread here but I couldn't find any answers. I use --SlidesExporter.reveal_scroll=True option to have Reveal.js slides vertically scrollable when their contents overflow:

jupyter nbconvert lecture1.ipynb --to slides --SlidesExporter.reveal_scroll=True

But, this doesn't seem to work in full screen mode (by pressing »F« on keyboard or by making the browser window full screen). That is, when I'm on a scrollable slide and I make it full screen, the vertical scrollbar disappears. Any ideas why this might be and how to make overflown slides scrollable in full screen mode?
