The point is not that anyone misses having a scroll bar for top/left overflow, it is that no one misses having the clipped part of the shadow there, and also would not miss the clipped part of the shadow on the bottom/right. . Setting aside the historical reasons for not showing scrollbars for abs pos items in the negative too/left regions, what it is actually doing to shadows there is completely resonable and desired, and is no less desired for the bottom/right. Even if it is not truly an orthoganal cause for the effect, the effect of trimming the non-visual impact of layout-less decorations when they come to the edge that way is what we want on all four sides.
