    That offset would cut lines in half most of the times. Here is a visual diagram of one of examples of such layout: 0vh margin column 1 column 2 text text text text margin 100vh margin column 3 … … 200vh Content flows naturally through column 1, 2, 3 and so on. No lines are cut in half horizontally (in a sense of overflow-y). When a window height resizes, content reflows accordingly - no scrolling required to read a full page at any window height.
