=============
350px while the height of containing block is only 300px.
So, here we definitely have an overconstrained situation. In which
case the spec clearly states
"If the values are over-constrained, ignore the value for 'bottom'
and solve for that value."
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#abs-non-replaced-height
So, here, the used value for bottom will be 0px so that the equation
gets balanced.
