If my (old) interpretation of 'overflow: hidden' is correct, then Fx got
it wrong. I prefer Fx' way of doing it though :-)
As I see it:
- 'overflow: hidden' means "hide overflowing part from view".
- 'overflow: hidden' does *not* mean "treat overflowing part as if it
was subjected to 'display: none'".
My interpretation comes from the use of the word 'hidden' here. In
'visibility: hidden' the word 'hidden' means "hidden objects aren't
visible but still take up space", so I've always thought it should mean
the same for 'overflow'.
However, it often makes more sense design-wise to "treat overflowing
part as if it didn't exist" - like Fx does, but we should then have had
an 'overflow: none' variant so we could choose.
