As stated in http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visufx.html#overflow "Whenever overflow occurs, the 'overflow' property specifies whether a box is clipped to its content box, and if so, whether a scrolling mechanism is provided to access any clipped out content. " IE/win32, Gecko and Opera all together do not follow this. They use content box plus padding area as a clipping rectangle. Given the example and considering "clipped to its content box" statement .scrollable { padding: 10px; overflow: auto; width:100px; height:100px; border: 1px solid black; } size of clipped rectangle should be 100px * 100px (minus scrollbars), right? In IE/win32, Gecko and Opera size of clipping area is 120px * 120px. Who will win - UAs all together or the specification?
