When editing inside CKEditor, I always want the scrollbars to be shown. Is there a way to override the CSS to always show the scrollbars, even if there's nothing lower filling it up?

it should be achievable using CSS.

I have a tool using the CKEditor and I see the body tag of the iframe in which the content is edited has a class .cke_show_borders.

So you can do:

.cke_show_borders {
    overflow: scroll;
}

Or to have more detailed control over the vertical/horizontal scrollbars

.cke_show_borders {
    overflow-y: scroll; // vertical scrollbar
    overflow-x: scroll; // horizontal scrollbar
}
