non-native form fields' focus-outlines are in overflow area (and get clipped if the widget is right at the edge of an iframe or overflow:hidden element).

screenshot of bug at MDN
STR:
- Ensure you have
widget.non-native-theme.enabledset to true in about:config. - View attached testcase, which is just:
data:text/html,<!DOCTYPE html><div style="overflow:hidden; height: 100px"><input autofocus>
- If the input field isn't already focused (it should be), then click it to focus it.
ACTUAL RESULTS: There's a focus ring around the textfield, which is entirely clipped on the top and the left. So you just see a backwards-L-shaped "halo" around the field (with an outline on the right side and bottom side).
EXPECTED RESULTS: Consistent-looking appearance of focus styling.
I actually ran into this on MDN, which runs into this with an iframe rather than an overflow:hidden div. The page I encountered it there was https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/HTML5/Constraint_validation , with the "ZIP"/"Country" example about halfway down the page. If you focus the "ZIP" formfield, you'll run into this issue.

(This might be a dupe -- I feel like I've seen this issue discussed somewhere -- but I couldn't immediately find an existing bug, so I went ahead and filed.)

That's how outlines work, isn't it? We could make the outline smaller, but other than that this is wontfix I fear.

(Or maybe paint the outline 1px more into the field / button / etc)

Right, this is how outlines work... It's a question of how we want to use outlines for these widgets, really.
Thanks for the Safari screenshot - I hadn't realized they had widgets whose focus indicators were similarly susceptible to clipping. Maybe that means this will be reasonably web-compatible and this is wontfix, then.

Adding [not-a-fission-bug] whiteboard tag because this bug doesn't need to block Fission MVP.
TBD whether this bug should be fixed or wontfixed.

I think this is Wontfix, but let me know if you disagree. Maybe the example in mdn deserves a fix?

Yeah, that's fine. I don't immediately know how to edit demo-content on MDN, but it's not severe enough for me to worry too much about it.
