That looks impossible, although I can't tell you why right now.
I think it has something to do with block-level elements not calculating the
"line-height" properly correctly. Anywho, In my experience, There needs to
be a height specified in order for clip:auto and overflow:auto to work. You
can do it in a percentage, but that's not truly "wherever it wants".
