Borders of a relatively positioned div with overflow set to auto should all
disappear when its absolutely positioned parent becomes hidden.

A complete interactive upcoming test case explains.

Attachment: Complete interactive test case

Play around with the following test case. 

Green borders do not disappear when
- yellow outermost div position is absolute
- yellow outermost div visibility is set to hidden
- green innermost div overflow is set to auto

I tested this with MSIE 6 and Opera 6.03 and the green borders always
disappear. I also moved the green div to other (overflowed) positions and the
green borders were still visible. Download the source and set the green div
left:-20px or top:-90px and hide the yellow outermost div as described up here
and the green borders will not disappear.

Similarly, the green bottom border is partly missing when changing
static -> absolute with visible+auto.
The border is correctly displayed after covering/uncovering the window.
