I see that you wrote later and not previous which would mean you referring to where I write. When decreasing the size of the viewport the viewport itself becomes an overflow container when any contents within the BODY (height or width) exceeds the height or width of the viewport or if an element is positioned outside (to the right or below) the viewport. This itself does not establish a 'new block formating context'. This can be simply put, when a user agent offers a scrolling mechanism. If so, then my understanding of the word propagated used in the spec isn't correct. I understand propagated to mean inherited. Am I understanding this right? Alan
