The scrolling mechanism is placed in between the border and the padding of an element, so the clipped area is the padding box. Content that overflows into the padding box is not clipped in Firefox or Safari at least (try setting a negative text-indent to make text spill into the padding area of an overflow:hidden element to see what I mean).
