Overflow "... affects the clipping of all of the element's content
except any descendant elements ... whose containing block is the
viewport or an ancestor of the element" (CSS 2.1: 11.1.1).
Though the extralinktext is absolutely positioned, the
overflow-container is relatively positioned and establishes a containing
block for the extralinktext. So the last part "except any ..." does not
apply here.
#mainStuff { /*templateStyle.css (Linie 147)*/
...
overflow:auto;
position:relative;
...
}
If that is correct, then overflow should clip the content and should not
add a scrollbar to the browser window to catch the a.p. element.
I think its a bug in Opera.
