**Bricks Version** : 1.5.6 **Browser** : Opera Latest **OS** : Win 11 Hi, Applying overflow-x or overflow-y to a container via custom CSS outputs overflow-x in the backend and frontend inc dev tools. Have not tested on other elements. Also, is it possible to add this via the overflow control, or does it just accept (visible / hidden)? Many thanks Mick ---

Hi Mick, Thanks so much for your report! Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the issue (see screenshots below). If you add only one parameter to the field (Layout » MISC » Overflow), the value applies to both axes. If you add two parameters like “hidden visible”, it applies to the x and the y axis independently: ![image](https://forum.bricksbuilder.io/uploads/default/original/2X/d/daf9ed13433d84aa04e20c82d63dc114016a6bdb.png) Best regards, timmse Builder: ![image](https://forum.bricksbuilder.io/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6b559a8d58b0c2a2b54ca37145fb0345b4804591.png) Frontend: ![image](https://forum.bricksbuilder.io/uploads/default/original/2X/0/05a68ff3656adeb1b440265eb6cdd7eb0ef849fe.png) ---

Hey Mick, It looks like the issue can be solved by using the relatively new property “overflow: clip”: > **[Do you know about overflow: clip? | Kilian Valkhof](https://kilianvalkhof.com/2022/css-html/do-you-know-about-overflow-clip/)** > > You probably know overflow: hidden, overflow: scroll and overflow: auto, but do you know overflow: clip? It's a relatively new value for the overflow property, and with Safari 16 being released later this year all evergreen browsers will support it.... So instead of using overflow: `hidden visible`, use `clip visible`, which should do the trick. Best regards, timmse ---

Huh, what? I didnt go hard rated and mention container queries did I? 🤣 🤣 But this worked a real treat Stefan thank you for the heads up about it! p.s for others who find themselves with the same question, in the article it also mentions than you are unable to combine a visible with hidden: ![Opera Snapshot_2022-11-07_230122_kilianvalkhof.com](https://forum.bricksbuilder.io/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a2ce477cdae412628929f0f0cc33bcc77d04a854.png) #nobug ---

About the container queries: 65% support is round about 30% too little 😉 > **[CSS Container Queries (Size) | Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc](https://caniuse.com/css-container-queries)** > > "Can I use" provides up-to-date browser support tables for support of front-end web technologies on desktop and mobile web browsers.
