What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Description

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Setting one direction to visible (the default) while setting the other to a different value results in visible behaving as auto.

Not correct because you can have one direction set to visible and the other set to clip and the visible will still behave as visible

What did you expect to see?

The bullet point maybe should just not be there.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
