Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow-3] Scrollable Overflow contributions of zero height/width elements (#4791)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `css-overflow-3`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Elements with a zero-area border-box do not directly contribute to scrollable overflow area.`

&lt;fantasai> Topic: css-overflow-3<br>
&lt;fantasai> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4791#issuecomment-862553085<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: If an element has zero area in its border box, it doesn't directly contribute to scrollable overflow<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: It can have indirect effects, if it increases the height of its parent box or something<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: But the element *itself* doesn't appear to do anything in impls. Should we add that to the spec?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: Seems reasonable<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: Yes, both because interop is good to spec, and because authors really hate when invisible boxes have side-effects<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: Would be great to have these tested properly too<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: So proposed resolution is to specify that zero-area border-box elements do not directly contribute to scrollable overflow area<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: Objections?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> RESOLVED: Elements with a zero-area border-box do not directly contribute to scrollable overflow area.<br>
