I am attempting to overcome an odd behavior related to styles respected by view canvas instances.

I have some views where I use a style `transform: translate(-Xpx, -Ypx)` such that the positioning anchor for the embed is the center of an icon/object, rather than the top/left of the embedded view. This works fine with a regular embedded view so long as the embed includes `overflow: visible` such as this:

However, when these are instantiated inside a view canvas instance, they get clipped even with view canvas properties `instances.[this].style.overflow: visible` or `defaultStyle.overflow: visible`. Here's the same view but via a view canvas instance:

Is that expected behavior?
