THANK YOU.

Attn Everyone Else: Don't be like me. Don't look at a bunch of other posts and then come back to this 4 hours later to realize this was the answer all along. Just stay here and use it.

Something that helped me (I'm using react-bootstrap):

The inline jsx style tag confused me. I added an import for global.css to _app.js. Add it last so it overrides any themes.

import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import "../styles/sb-admin-2.css";
import '../styles/globals.css'

Then I copied and pasted OP's code to the globals.css file.

html,
body,
body > div:first-child,
div#__next,
div#__next > div {
height: 100%;
}

What do you think about this? Which one is better?

<html>
  <body>
    <div id="container">
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
#container {
  width: 100vh;
  height: 100vh;
}

}

100vh works poorly on mobile.

The problem is that Next.js puts divs at the root

Which these lines from the answer should solve:

body > div:first-child,
      div#__next,
      div#__next > div {
        height: 100%;
      }

html,
body,
body > div:first-child,
div#__next,
div#__next > div {
height: 100%;
}

Adding this:
html,
body,
body > div:first-child,
div#__next,
div#__next > div {
height: 100%;
}

to globalstyle.css and importing global styles in _app.js did not work for me. Any idea what I am missing? cc: @jacksonkeating

Hi Marshall, in order to help we need more info. Can you share your code publicly or invite dmurawsky to your repo?

I had to do this to fix it

html, body, body > div:first-child, div#__next, div#__next > div { margin: 0; }
