document.body.scrollTop always returns 0

Reported by to.lufam...@gmail.com, Sep 27 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a Web page with a scrollbar (e.g. search for results on google)
2. Open the developer console and type document.body.scrollTop. It will show 0.
3. Scroll the page a bit. Type document.body.scrollTop again in the developer console. It still shows 0. 

What is the expected behavior?
document.body.scrollTop should return the number of pixels an element is scrolled veritcally.

What went wrong?
document.body.scrollTop always returns 0

Did this work before? Yes Version 60.0.3112.113 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Duplicate of  issue 737633 , apparently.

>This is done on purpose. To support interop with other browsers the scrolling element has become the documentElement in standards mode. In some cases is it the body element in quirks mode. See the intent to ship here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/blink-dev/X64Sg16RhT4/6ZiW7Dt8CAAJ

>Really you should be using document.scrollingElement to be told what the scrolling element is. This attribute was added for interop ability.
