It *is* different from the content without a transform, that’s why it’s confusing. The pre-transform content causes no overflow whatsoever. Since scaling of that content is what causes the overflow I can’t expect the scrollbar to affect what the transform scales. I understand the rendering for overflow:scroll. For overflow:auto, it’s as if you figure out whether the transformed element will cause overflow then reflow it as if scrollbars where there before transforming it. I don’t think that makes sense. Modulo the scrollbars needed to see the content, I think expect the overflow:auto case to look just like the overflow:visible one.

How is that different from content without a transform? There's always been a circular dependency there, where the presence of a scrollbar affects the layout of the scrolled content, but the layout of the scrolled content affects the presence of the scrollbar.
