scrollable-region-focusable rule false positive on clip overflow #3283

@backwardok

Description

@backwardok

Product: axe Extension (not sure if it exists elsewhere as well, but found on the axe extension)

Expectation: Setting overflow to clip doesn't get flagged as an error for scrollable-region-focusable since it doesn't actually scroll

Actual: Setting overflow to clip gets flagged as an error for scrollable-region-focusable

Motivation: Results in false positives, which encourages people to turn off the rule or ignore the results

Example codepen to test behavior

axe extension version: 4.3.5
Browser version: Chrome 95.0.4638.69
Platform: Mac
