    width: 10px;
    /*height: 30px;*/
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    background: #f1f1f1; 
}
 
/* Handle */
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    background: #888; 
}

/* Handle on hover */
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
    background: #555; 
}

Answer 1

Try give min-height in data-container.

section#data-container{
    min-height:400px;
    width:200px;
    overflow-y: scroll;
    border:1px solid #000;

}

code on snippet

section#data-container{
    min-height:400px;
    width:200px;
    overflow-y: scroll;
    border:1px solid #000;
    
}
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 10px;
    /*height: 30px;*/
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    background: #f1f1f1; 
}
 
/* Handle */
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    background: #888; 
}

/* Handle on hover */
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
    background: #555; 
}
