This is a small continuation of our original box model test. We added some tests to explicitely check for overflow problems already noticed during development of qooxdoo 0.5. We simply wanted to be sure about the current state of browsers before starting the development  our new layout engine.

Results 

Good news first: Konqueror (version 3.5.3) renders equally perfect for both overflow:hidden and overflow:visible. The box-sizing is correct. In all examples! Again kudos to the developers!

Opera 9.0 shows the same errors for overflows as without overflows. Fine. We are already happy if we need not to handle another special situation…

Internet Explorer 6.0 renders 2 boxes smaller in Standard Mode and even completely fails to render 2 boxes using "overflow:hidden" in Quirks Mode. The boxes were already wrong layouted before. So luckily it is not getting worse.

Firefox 1.5 shows differences compared to Firefox 1.0. Now we noticed the first box model difference between Gecko 1.7 and Gecko 1.8. Firefox 1.5 renders two more boxes wrong than without the overflow statement, both using "box-sizing:border-box". All other boxes are identical.

Surprisingly, for Firefox 1.0 the "overflow:hidden" fixes all the bugs on the right columns, i.e. making "box-sizing:border-box" to work perfectly, but breaking many boxes on the left side. This means Firefox 1.0 is the only browser in this roundup which fails to render the W3C-default "content-box". In general it supports all other CSS standards used in the tests (compared to Internet Explorer for example).
