I was under the impression that all of the 'visible' attributes refer to
scrolling. Whether it be a row in a table or outline view or text in a
scrolling text view, if the text is currently scrolled into view, it is
"visible" even if you can't see it because some other window is in the way.
I'll be interested in finding out whether I've been right or wrong in this
assumption.
