A table cell is the same height whether content's height is reduce whith
overflow:hidden or not.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.See HTML testcase


Actual Results:  Cell height is the height of the most inner block

Expected Results:  Cell height should be the height of the first inner (shorten)
block

<style type='text/css'>
.outerc { position:relative;display:block; overflow:hidden; width:500px;
height:20px; border:thin solid red}
.innerc { position:absolute;display:block; top:-10px; border:thin solid blue} 
</style>

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<br>
<table border=1><tr><td>TD</td><td>
<div class='outerc'><div class='innerc'>
	ligne 1<br>ligne 2<br>ligne 3
</div></div>
</td></table>
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<div class='outerc'><div class='innerc'>
	ligne 1<br>ligne 2<br>ligne 3
</div></div>
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Outside of a table the height is good.
If the 2 DIV have position:relative the cell height is good too !
