Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] Selective overflow: hidden (#3417)

Yes, @fantasai was talking about native tooltips, which are rendered atop everything.  That page is just showing some in-page element, which is affected by stacking/clipping contexts.

CSS is bound (for many reasons, mostly good) by the stacking/clipping context tree. "Escaping" that is difficult. The correct way to avoid being clipped by an ancestor is to not have an ancestor that clips you; in-page tooltips should be rendered as children of `<body>` and positioned with JS.
