Overflow "clip_h" on a Layout produces warning

[beckyo]

Smart GWT LGPL Version 4.1d build 10/17/2013

The docs don't state which classes can and cannot make use of horizontal/vertical clipping. Here I'm creating a child of Layout and applying a clipped overflow to the child. Is this intentional functionality for the Layout class or a bug?

A class that extends Layout:

class MyLayout extends com.smartgwt.client.widgets.layout.Layout

An instance of that class instantiated then an immediate call to setOverflow:

MyLayout myLayout = new MyLayout();
myLayout.setOverflow(Overflow.CLIP_H);

Warning result:
This widget has overflow specified as "clip_h". This overflow setting is not supported - defaulting to overflow:"visible".

However, I do see the clipping applied correctly, and if I comment out that line the layout no longer gets clipped. It looks like a misleading warning.

Thanks!

Thoughts?

Shouldn't it be OK to apply a clip H or V overflow to a Layout since it's ultimately a <div>?

Hilarious!

We work around a spectacular number and variety of browser bugs to provide the functionality of Layout. CLIP_H is not supported because there are just too many bugs to provide it cross-browser.

I see it working correctly in FF23+, Chrome30+, and IE10+. So long as it continues to be just a warning I'm happy.
