I don't think border shape should affect layout, as in the position or size of the border box. It could be seen as a "purely visual effect", but just like for transforms, border shape may affect the containing scrollable container. And hit-testing all the parts of the border should probably work, right? https://drafts.csswg.org/css-transforms/#transform-rendering > Note: Transformations do affect the visual rendering, but have no effect on the CSS layout other than affecting overflow. Transforms are also taken into account when computing client rectangles exposed via the Element Interface Extensions, namely [getClientRects()](https://www.w3.org/TR/cssom-view/#dom-element-getclientrects) and [getBoundingClientRect()](https://www.w3.org/TR/cssom-view/#dom-element-getboundingclientrect), which are specified in [[CSSOM-VIEW]](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-transforms/#biblio-cssom-view). -- GitHub Notification of comment by mstensho Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13371#issuecomment-3840287736 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
