+### `getOptimalPosition()` with the `limiter` resticted by overflowed parents [#146](https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5-utils/issues/148)
+
+Vertically scroll the container up and down.
+
+**Expected**:
+
+1. The red square should **always** remain visible regardless of the position of the scroll.
+2. In the initial position, the shapes should represent a small letter "i", with the red dot above.
+3. In the opposite scroll position, the shapes should represent an exclamation mark "!" with the red dot underneath.
