Do we already have tests for svg, symbol, pattern and foreignObject? If not, can you rename the test to something like 'overflow-01.svg' and test each of those in its own little section of the screen?

I think this is a bad idea, since it gets along really badly with the overflow-x/overflow-y split.

roc, does comment 3 change your mind on this?

Comment 6

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

David's perfectly right. We should treat 'auto' as 'hidden'.

Comment 7

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

OK then.

Goodness, my Bugzilla search-fu for existing bugs is weak. :-)

I'm sad to say that David's mail never got a reply, nor did it become a tracked issue.  I will bring it up again.
