 - Elements with `display: contents` will no longer use box model calculations for visibility, and correctly show as visible when it is visible. Fixed in [#29680](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/29680). Fixes [#29605](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/29605).
 - The CSS pseudo-class `:dir()` is now supported when testing in Electron. Addresses [#29766](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/29766).
+- Elements whose parent elements has `overflow: clip` and no height/width will now correctly show as hidden. Fixed in [#29778](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/29778). Fixes [#23852](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23852).
