No way (?) to stop columns hiding overflow #4

Open chriscoyier opened 7 years ago

I have no idea if this is by design or what, but columns seem to hide overflow. Like, if you had an absolutely positioned item within a box in a column that was wider than the column.

You can't overflow or z-index or whatever your way out of this.

Real world example:

Forced to make sure columns are wide enough so that submenu doesn't get overlapped by another column.

This is I believe in Chrome?

In Firefox overflow should not be clipped which is the correct to the spec behaviour - here is the Chrome bug https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=269061#c19
