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 it is 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.
