test case

I think we fail at interpreting "being rendered" properly.

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#the-innertext-idl-attribute says that innerText returns a DOMString representing the rendered text content of an element if it is being rendered.
while "An element is being rendered if it has any associated CSS layout boxes, SVG layout boxes, or some equivalent in other styling languages" (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#being-rendered)
So I would think clipped content is still considered "being rendered" as we compute geometry/create box for such content.
