Has anyone witnessed a situation where a page just shows the background after the end of the footer and lets you scroll for a long long ways with no content? Its happening specifically on Android 2.3.7 with a theme based on TwentyTwelve.

It looks like the problem may be caused by this:

html {
overflow-y: scroll;
}

I removed it and I'm waiting for the Android 2.3.7 user to test it again.

Chris Coyier specifically said this regarding overflow-y:

This is invalid CSS, but it works in everything except Opera. The reason for this is to prevent "centering jumps" when navigating back and forth between pages with enough content to have a vertical scroll bar and pages that do not. (August 10, 2009)
