One big compat issue to note regarding proposal 2, with `visible` as the initial value, it will be extremely common that authors have specified one axis, e.g. `overflow-x: auto;` and not the other, having a specified `overflow-y: visible;`. I suspect it will not be web compatible to stop coercing the other axis in these cases. I think we can do this, but we would need to add a new initial value, e.g. `overflow: normal`, that computes to visible, hidden or auto depending on the other axis. This way we could tell when developers have explicitly specified that the other axis is visible. -- GitHub Notification of comment by flackr Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13445#issuecomment-4178883062 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
