I do not think overflow-y set to hidden applies here, it's not just practical. The initial code alone is sufficient to make sure that the background-image is exactly 100vh or 100%, what causes the little overflow and how can I fix it?

HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
        <title>Quote Generator</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <span>
            <h2>JavaScript quote Generator</h2>
        </span>
        <main>
            <div>
                <span class="random-quote">"I have always believed that each man makes his own happiness and is responsible for his own problems. It is a simple philosophy."</span>

                <div class="button">new quote</div>
            </div>
            <div>
                <span class="random-quote">When we have respect for ourselves and others, we gravitate towards connections that encourage that.</span>

                <div class="button">new quote</div>
            </div>
            <div>
                <span class="random-quote">Anger is the ultimate destroyer of your own peace of mind.</span>
                <span class="author">Dalai Lama</span>
                <div class="button">new quote</div>
            </div>
            <div>
                <span class="random-quote">A man should have the aim and the determination to be honest and upright and sincere in all that he undertakes. If he adds persistency to this he can hardly help being successful</span>

            </div>
            <div>
                <span class="random-quote">Only one thing is ever guaranteed, that is that you will definitely not achieve the goal if you don't take the shot.</span>

                <div class="button">new quote</div>
            </div>
        </main>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

CSS:
body, html {
    height: 100vh; /*I also used 100%, didn't work*/
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
  }

body{
    background-image: url('quotesbg.jpg');
    height: 100vh; /*I also used 100%, didn't work*/
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}
