Details

The view system is applying the 'clip' to child views and it shouldn't. Here's
some HTML that demonstrates the problem. Note: the parser is busted and doesn't
allow nested DIV tags, but that should be fixed today and then this will work
properly

<body>
<div style="position:absolute; left:20px; top:20px; width:200px; border:solid
2px red; background-color:lightyellow">
Some text in a absolutely positoned DIV tag so we can test absolute positioning
of nested_
<div style="position:absolute; left:-20px; top:-20px; width:200px; border:solid
2px blue; background-color:white">
This is the text of the nested DIV element that's also absolutely
positioned</div>
absolutely positioned DIV elements
</div>
</body>
