sorry if this is a duplicate, but all other reports were marked as fixed/closed.

my problem: in css, overflow: auto of overflow: scroll doesnt work.
sample code:
<p style="overflow: auto">
putsomeverylongunspacedtextinhereforexamplecopythispartoftextsometimesuntilitreachestheendofyourscreen
</p>

In mozilla it _does_ work.

I really need this to work, it's urgent even.

AFAIK, most of the bits for the support are in CVS HEAD, but it doesn't quite work yet.

So this bug is open for 3 years already? ...

I'm using KDE CVS HEAD (3.1.94 (CVS >= 20031206)). The "overflow: scroll" CSS property seems to work but I have a litle JavaScript that shows and updates the time each second in a defined element (<span id="timedisplay">[here comes the time]</span>). As soon as the first timeout starts (each second), the scrollbar of the overflow'ed <div> disappears and the layer isn't scrollable no more.

Here's the site which shows this problem:

You'll notice that the scrollbar disappears as soon as the JavaScript-generated time string appears in the upper-right corner, below the menubar.

This problem even shows up in konqueror 3.2.0 (KDE 3.2.0).
