scroll-padding-block
The scroll-padding-block
shorthand property sets the scroll padding of an element in the block dimension.
Try it
The scroll-padding properties define offsets for the optimal viewing region of the scrollport: the region used as the target region for placing things in view of the user. This allows the author to exclude regions of the scrollport that are obscured by other content (such as fixed-positioned toolbars or sidebars) or to put more breathing room between a targeted element and the edges of the scrollport.
Constituent properties
This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:

scroll-padding-block: inherit;
scroll-padding-block: initial;

Values
<length-percentage>
-
An inwards offset from the corresponding edge of the scrollport, as a valid length or a percentage.
auto
-
The offset is determined by the user agent. This will generally be 0px, but a user agent is able to detect and do something else if a non-zero value is more appropriate.
