Visibility assertion passes in situation where element is NOT visible.

[jennifer-shehane]

I've created a repo with the failing Cypress test that demonstrates the issue here: overflow-visibility-issue

To summarize, I wanted to write a test to ensure that an element was visible in my app. My element was currently hidden, yet the test kept passing saying it was visible. The element was position: absolute with top: -100px and left: -100px so that it sat outside of it's container, and the container was overflow: hidden to not allow it to be seen.

cy.get('.element').should('be.visible') // this incorrectly passes
cy.get('.element').click() //this correctly fails because the element is not visible.

The code for this is done, but this has yet to be released. We'll update the issue and reference the changelog when it's released.
