What specific section or headline is this issue about?

The events section

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

There used to be a subsection about the GlobalEventHandlers (GEH], where the onscroll event was mentioned.
With the GEH demixing effort this section is gone and there is nowhere I can find where it is said that Document's scroll event bubbles to the Window, and that window.onscroll is a thing.

What did you expect to see?

To be honest, I'm not sure how this should be handled. Adding it here without GEH is a bit weird since the event actually fires on the Document, but not having anything here that says window.onscroll is a thing seems bad too.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#handler-onscroll is part of the Window-reflecting body element event handler set.

Do you have anything more you want to share?
