> What bugs me about it is that when content spills out of a regular block, we make it reachable via overflow mechanisms.  I don't see why content that spills out of a line box should be any different.  There is actual content that the user might want to see.  Clipping the text certainly doesn't seem desirable.

What is counterintuitive to me is that "overflow: visible" produce scrollbar in that case.

> Basically I'm inclined to say WONTFIX unless the compatibility problem is severe enough that it looks like we need to do it.  

Fine with me, I close the task. I guess I still have learned something on the way :)

> I'd be curious to know if we're the only browser engine doing this and if all the others clip the text.

Firefox and Opera behave as WebKit in this case. Internet Explorer clip the block.
