106512 - The clipped portion of a positioned element is not entirely hidden.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 35274

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Niklas Lindström]

In the page above, the "document" area is a clipped, absolute-positioned div, 
which is moved and reclipped to simulate scrolling. The problem is that the 
part which is clipped away still hides/shadows the link located underneath. Not 
until one has "scrolled" the page down to the bottom - i.e. moved even the 
hidden area above the link, is that link possible to click on.

I have the same problem with animated layers (who "slide" in and out) - where I 
also tried with overflow explicitly set to "hidden".

This problem does not occur in: IE4, IE5, IE6, NS4.

If this bug is confirmed - or the responsible people require it anyway, I will 
try to create a clean test page.

[Hint: press the arrows to increase scrolling speed.]
