On a page with a table that is wider than the browser window and is floated right, no horizontal scrollbars appear causing content to be unreachable.

I think we do the right thing here.

This case should be no different from an absolutely positioned element outside the initial containing block (here in LTR mode):

     X
   +---
 X |
   |

X marks an absolutely positioned element for which we don't draw scrollbars. the same goes for hidden text using text-indent: -9999px and other cases.

I'll confirm this bug though, because I didn#t find the part in CSS that talks about these situations.

All browsers I tested do the same thing: Chrome, IE11, Opera (Presto). No scrollbars and the leftmost tables are inaccessible (if the window or screen is not wide enough to show all of them).

I'll close this as invalid but NI dbaron so he can verify this conclusion :)
