           Summary: Visibility: visible doesn't work inside visibility:
                    hidden
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 523.x (Safari 3)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dhtmlkitchen at gmail.com


When an element is a descendent of a containing block with visibility: hidden,
it gets hidden too.

This is not correct. 

The descendent should respect it's own visibility property, regardless if it's
containing block is hidden.

The bug is apparent when both elements are positioned and the container is the
descendant's containing block 
(the descendant does not have position: fixed).
