1137409 - overflow-x/y doesn't work correctly with outline

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

Description

Attachment: test-overflow.html

I'm not sure this is a bug, but I couldn't find a proper description in the spec.

In the attachment you'll see that overflow-x is set to visible, yet the outline is not visible in the left and right.

It gets visible as soon as we set overflow-y to visible instead of auto as well.

Chrome has the same behavior.

From the closest thing to a spec for overflow-x (at <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-box-3/#overflow>):

  The computed values of ‘overflow-x’ and ‘overflow-y’ are the same as their specified
  values, except that some combinations with ‘visible’ are not possible: if one is
  specified as ‘visible’ and the other is ‘scroll’ or ‘auto’, then ‘visible’ is set to
  ‘auto’.

I knew I was missing something. Thanks for the pointer.
