Comment (by valendesigns):

 It appears the `overflow` property was added during [27195] when the CSS
 was broken into modules. However, there is no information specifically as
 to why it was added. We can assume it served a purpose though.


 It's likely the intention of `overflow: hidden;` in this circumstance was
 to either keep the inner content from leaking out into the rest of the UI
 and/or clearing the floats. It's possible that removing it could, not
 saying it will, introduce UI bugs. A different solution to fix the
 container is to replace `overflow: hidden;` with `float: left;` in
 `#dashboard-widgets-wrap`. Which I believe should serve the same purpose
 as the overflow and still keep the UI intact.
