Scrollbar Not Visible

I noticed that sometimes the scrollbar doesn't render and instead draws what appears to be parts of the composited layer where the control should be. (I set a background color on the composited layer, and the scrollbar area picks up this color). This was found while debugging issues in the WordPress Block Editor.

I've attached a simple test case. This is also available at https://codepen.io/gwwar/pen/VwbYgmR It should look like the following when the incorrect behavior is visible :

Thanks for the testcase. Bug 216294 was supposed to fix this.

One extra bit of information is that this bug also requires "Show scroll bars" to be set to "Always" (or use a Mouse with "Automatically based on mouse or trackpad").

I'm still seeing this display on Safari Technology Preview Release 126.

Quick video of the behavior here:

Somehow the overflow controls container is getting behind the scroller layer. Triggered by the negative z-index child:

Logging says:
Moving overflow controls layer for 0x794e60750 to appear after 0x794e609c0
which is wrong.
