Description David Burns :automatedtester 2016-06-06 10:18:35 UTC 
Selenium scrolls elements that have a parent with overflow:scroll before interacting with that element.

We need to describe this in the specification as well otherwise people will not be able to click on elements.

But scrollIntoView appears to do the right thing when the parent has overflow: scroll set: https://sny.no/e/scrollparent
