Html/Css: How to fix the page firmly, removing the scrollbar to scroll down?

I would like to layout all the contents of the page in a fixed/firmly way, i.e. there is no space to scroll down the page with the scrollbar (therefore removing the possibility of scrolling down). As you can see from the image, there is a vertical scrollbar on the right side and therefore there is room to scroll down. I would like to remove it and layout everything in a fixed/firmly way.

I SPECIFY that the heights of the two navbars will change, because these in the code are only examples, so i would need to understand how to set the dimensions in case of changing the heights of the navbars

If I only use the 3 panel wrapper (without the two navbars)
, then it sets fixed and leaves no gaps at the bottom. Instead, if I add two navbars, space is created at the bottom to scroll the page with the scrollbar.

P.S: For the yellow center panel, i would like to continue using a custom fixed height (e.g. .center1 {height: 300px} or something similar)

body {
  margin: 0;
}

Add id in header tag id="main-header" and add script to count header height and remove that height from wrapper.

body {
  margin: 0;
}

.wrapper {
  height: calc(100vh - var(--header-height));
  width: 100vw;
  background: #333;
  border: 6px solid #666;
  display: flex;
}

.pane {
  position: relative;
  color: #fff;
  /* 
      --min-width in .wrapper inline style 
      <div class="wrapper" style="--min-width: 200px;--min-height: 100px;"> 
      */
  min-width: var(--min-width);
  overflow: auto;
}

.pane:last-child {
  flex-grow: 1;
}

.pane:has(.pane) {
  padding: 0;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

.pane>.pane {
  /* 
      --min-height in .wrapper inline style 
      <div class="wrapper" style="--min-width: 200px;--min-height: 100px;">
      */
  min-height: var(--min-height);
}

.gutter {
  --l: 100%;
  --s: 10px;
  background: #666;
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 1;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
}

.gutter-v {
  width: var(--s);
  height: var(--l);
  cursor: col-resize;
}

.gutter-h {
  height: var(--s);
  width: var(--l);
  cursor: row-resize;
}



.left {

.center_container {
  width: 650px;

Set your HTML, BODY to height 100dvh since that’s you max app height
Make use of flex and flex: 1 for the elements you want to auto-size
You could also make use of CSS grid in order to simplify the placing and nesting of your panes elements:

*,
*::before,
*::after {
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  min-width: 0;
  min-height: 0;
}

html {
  height: 100dvh;
}

body {
  height: inherit;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

  background: hsl(170 40% 80%);
