".overflow-scroll .scroll" isn't positioned correctly

[fredgalvao]

Well, I'm sorry to resurrect this one, but I found out the position: static from .overflow-scroll .scroll caused bad positioning and layout on two of my views on pretty much all Android devices I have to test (Moto G@4.4.2, Nexus 4@4.4.2, SII@4.0.3, S4@4.4.2, Galaxy Nexus@4.3 and Chrome-Ripple@34). I didn't see/say this before because I've been isolating a bunch of things on my code and only now I've stumbled on this with no other culprit on the screen.
The strange positioning is pictured in the screenshots attached.

I haven't been able to reproduce it with a simple example yet (haven't tried very much yet), but I've managed to fix it with no downsides or undesired consequences so far by specifying this on my side:

.overflow-scroll .scroll {
    position: absolute !important;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
}

I actually think that's a reasonably better option according to what I know of css positioning, knowing that Ionic creates an additional layer between ion-content and the actual content: the div.scroll, and thus it's pretty safe to have that layer positioned. I have looked back in _scaffold.scss's commits on this block and found nothing that could hint a bug fixed by choosing static over absolute, but I might as well be wrong on this one.

The height: 100% part can also be removed if top+bottom is used.

Any news on this? I've just tested it again without my hotfix on beta6 and the problem still exists.

Looking into this now.

Not finding any problems with this fix on any device. Since there should always be a parent <ion-view> or similar, the position: absolute; works fine.
