Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-positioning] position: fixed within a stacking context

My tests were done with `position: fixed` on `.container`.
I just tried with `position: sticky` and see cropping only on safari 
http://jsbin.com/zivofer/2/edit?html,output

Aside: I'm working on an overlay custom element; it should be capable 
of rendering on top of the other content when opened (like `<dialog>, 
<select>`, or the tooltips rendering the `alt` attribute value). I 
rely on `position: fixed` to have it positioned in the viewport and 
`z-index` for rendering on top of the content. The above mentioned 
native elements (dialog, select) are stacking-context agnostic, in the
 sense that are not cropped, nor participate to the scrolling, and are
 always rendered on top of everything. I couldn't find a way to access
 to this **magic** through css yet, the only way is to ask the users 
of my element to declare it in a stacking-context-safe parent 😞
