There are a lot of cases.

In Linux, with mozilla 1.6, overflow:hidden does not do anything, it's simply
ignored, so, in the page, I see second ant the third box fully while they shoud
be clipped.

In windows, with mozilla 1.6 and 1.7rc1 the second box (the first swf) is
correctly clipped, while the second one (that has not the attribute wmode
trasparent) is not clipped at all.

Reproducible: Always

If the wmode is not set, the flash player paints itself directly to the OS
graphics subsystem, so we can't possibly clip it (we don't even know the
painting is happening).  So the behavior on Windows is precisely correct.  This
is why wmode exists.

On Linux, flash doesn't support windowless operation yet (that is, it ignores
wmode).
