Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the viewport-height problem with DataTables' scrollY set to 10em, then trace the Scroller code that measures the viewport and consult forum discussion 22899. Done means non-pixel scrollY values produce the correct viewport height without breaking pixel values.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The height measurement for the viewport doesn't work correctly if a non-pixel values is given for DataTables' scrollY option (for example give 10em).
