           Summary: overflow:auto block elements cover position:absolute
                    elements
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 412+
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: joel at inreverie.org


An element with position:absolute (as is common in many css dropdown menus) will flow under a block 
element that has overflow:auto applied to it. Tables with overflow:auto do not show this behavior, nor do 
elements with display:block. See test case.

This bug does not occur in Firefox 1.5. This is code that many websites with CSS layout use.
