If there is no specified height, there can't be overflow, right? And there is specified height and there is something unbreakable that's overflow, isn't it? I general, I like to believe that columns always behave like pages. They are like pages, just smaller... It looks like so far we managed to keep breaking rules consistent, and I would love to continue that way... > Furthermore, I'd like to suggest suggesting that scrollable boxes > be considered unbreakable.. because I don't want to implement slicing > a scrollable text box into multiple pieces and have it still.. > scrollable... I can live with scrollers being breakable or unbreakable, as long as it is consistent across pages and columns. I would rather have scrollers break but not scroll than have them behave differently in columns...
