Content in a div which is contained in div and has style set to overflow auto 
and height 100% is not visible

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
check example below

<html>
<head>
 <title>Div Problem</title>
</head>
<body>
<div> 
<div style="overflow:auto;background-color: 
#DEDEC8;height:100%;">kdfjksdfjdlskfjdsklfdkfj</div>test
<div > 
</body>
</html>


Actual Results:  contents in inner div not visible

Expected Results:  content should be visible
Well, the outer div has auto height.  The inner div has 100% of that, so both
correctly end up with 0 height (try putting a border around the inner div to
demonstrate this).  overflow:scroll means that content that overflows the div is
not shown, and the scrollbar cannot be shown because it does not fit in a space
of height 0.  Giving the outer div a height (either implicitly by putting
content in it or explicitly in a style sheet) will of course get rid of all
these issues.

Over to style system for confirmation, but looks invalid to me..
