follow up from bug 570275 comment #44: > At least currently when page have style "a:focus { overflow: scroll; }" and > user navigates through links then nothing special happens visually That depends on whether links are styled with display:inline or not.... "overflow" simply doesn't apply to inlines. We could almost certainly change the style system to not reframe for overflow changes to inlines specifically, but there are likely other reframe changes which you don't want to treat as hide/show... the testcase would be <html> <head> <style> a:focus { overflow: scroll; } </style> </head> <body> <a href="www">anchor</a> </body> </html> when anchor is focused then its frame is recreated what is unwanted for accessibility and I think for layout as well.

alexander, which try builds do I need to run to check whether the a11y tests pass?
I think it should be -u mochitest-o, at least they appear for oth builds at http://tbpl.mozilla.org/
btw, a11y tests should be ok after bug 570275 since tree/test_cssoverflow.html mochitests that should be affected was changed.
