Bootstrap 3 modal fires and causes page to shift to the left momentarily / browser scroll bar problems

Question

I am working on a site using Bootstrap 3.1.0.

You\'ll notice when the modal window opens, the browser scroll bar just disappears for a split second, then comes back.

Answer 1

$('body').on('show.bs.modal', function () {
    if ($("body").innerHeight() > $(window).height()) {
        $("body").css("margin-right", "17px");
    }
}); 

$('body').on('hidden.bs.modal', function (e) {
    $("body").css("margin-right", "0px");
});

This little fix simulates the scrollbar when the modal is shown, adding a margin-right to the body.
