Rect#getVisible() does not work well with absolutely positioned elements

[oleq]

📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

Consider the following structure:

<div class="parent"> (e.g. body collection container)
    <div class="child" style="position: absolute"> (e.g. a floating balloon element)

then call new Rect( child ).getVisible()

✔️ Expected result

Since the child has position: absolute and the parent has no position: relative, the child can move freely unobstructed by the parent. It will not get cropped.

But getVisible() will consider the parent nevertheless.

❌ Actual result

The parent is ignored by getVisible() logic.

❓ Possible solution

The logic of getVisible() should understand whether the child will be cropped or not. See this fiddle to learn more https://jsfiddle.net/4wnxhjf1/47/.
