The Problem:
In a full-size app layout (100% width, 100% height) using flexbox with overflow, the scrollbars do not display for overflow-y in Firefox, IE, or Edge. They do display properly in Chrome. Rather than having a vertical scrollbar in FF/IE/Edge on the element, the scrollbar is applied to the entire page.
What I've Tried:
I've tried adding, as mentioned in several other SO answers, to add min-height: 0; to the flex elements / parents. I haven't been able to get this solution to work, but perhaps I am doing something wrong.
