    <p>When I specify <code>overflow-x: hidden</code> on an element which overflows both horizontally and vertically, the element gets a vertical scroll bar in addition to hiding the horizontally overflowing content. I have tried adding <code>overflow-y: visible</code> and even just <code>overflow: visible</code>, to no effect.</p> <p>Am I misunderstanding what these properties do? I would think that <code>overflow-x</code> should not affect the vertical overflow at all.</p> <p>This has happened on every browser I've tried.</p> <p>Here's a snippet which demonstrates the effect. I'm using <code>&lt;pre&gt;</code> tags because they're an easy way to create overflowing content, but it seems to happen with any tag.</p> <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false"> <div class="snippet-code"> <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>pre { height: 40px; width: 150px; margin-bottom: 50px; /* We need this so they don't overlap. */ } #x-hidden { overflow-x: hidden; } #y-visible { overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: visible; } #visible { overflow: visible; overflow-x: hidden; }</code></pre> <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;pre&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent bibendum lorem felis, sit amet sodales nunc gravida eget. Integer mollis quis magna quis vulputate. Cras aliquet convallis efficitur. &lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre id="x-hidden"&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent bibendum lorem felis, sit amet sodales nunc gravida eget. Integer mollis quis magna quis vulputate. Cras aliquet convallis efficitur. &lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre id="y-visible"&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent bibendum lorem felis, sit amet sodales nunc gravida eget. Integer mollis quis magna quis vulputate. Cras aliquet convallis efficitur. &lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre id="visible"&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent bibendum lorem felis, sit amet sodales nunc gravida eget. Integer mollis quis magna quis vulputate. Cras aliquet convallis efficitur. &lt;/pre&gt;</code></pre> </div> </div> </p> <p>The <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box/#overflow-x" rel="noreferrer">W3C spec</a> says:</p> <blockquote> <p>The computed values of ‘overflow-x’ and ‘overflow-y’ are the same as their specified values, except that some combinations with ‘visible’ are not possible: if one is specified as ‘visible’ and the other is ‘scroll’ or ‘auto’, then ‘visible’ is set to ‘auto’.</p> </blockquote> <p>But this makes no mention of the case when <code>overflow-x</code> or <code>overflow-y</code> is set to <code>hidden</code>, which to me implies that this combination is indeed meant to be possible.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
