Center of circle having radius zero? It's a > point then. Has no center... Or is this about something else? That is how I read it. A point does have a center (it's the same point). That point would no longer align with the center of the center of the circle describing the outside of the border, when the border thickness is thicker than the corner-radius.

Text that goes outside its boundaries is also "information lost" when overflow is 'hidden'. Thus it is within the author's ability to obscure text with overflow, as always. If I don't want the text to be clipped by the corners, then I can add padding. > In principle it is possible to layout text with respect of rounded > corners but we need to specify this then. > > -- > Andrew Fedoniouk. > > http://terrainformatica.com >
