css - overflow: hidden in div nested inside display: table-cell

I've got a problem with overflow in a div nested inside another div which has display: table-cell style. I'm not sure why content from #left-wrapper is not cropped (hidden) when it exceeds height of #left-wrapper. Thanks in advance for any advices. Fiddle link: http://jsfiddle.net/bpbHY/1/

Here's my markup:

<div id="wrapper">
    <div id="left">
        <div id="left-wrapper">
            <ul>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item</li>
                <li>Menu item </li>
            <ul>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id="center">Center content</div>
    <div id="right">right</div>
</div>

CSS:

#wrapper {
    display:table;
    width:100%;
    height:100%;
}
#wrapper > div {
    display:table-cell;
    height:100%;
}
#left {
    width:70px;
    min-width:80px;
    height: 100%;
    background-color:pink;
}

#left-wrapper {
    overflow: hidden;
    height: 100%;
}

#center {
    background-color:green;
    min-width:200px;
}
#right {
    width:50px;
    min-width:50px;
    background-color:red;
}
li {
    line-height: 80px;
}
body, html {
    width:100%;
    height:100%;
}

I think this problem is occurring because of your use of display: table; and table-cell

I've taken the liberty of re-designing the CSS you have and I think this is what you're looking for:

Html stays the same and the CSS is as follows:

* {margin:0;padding:0;}
html, body{
    height:100%;
    width: 100%;
}
li {
    line-height: 80px;
}
#wrapper{
    width: 100%;
}
#left-wrapper {
    background: pink;
    width: 15%;
    height: 100%;
    float: left;
}
#left-wrapper ul {
    height: 100%;
    overflow: scroll;
    background: pink;
}

#center {
    background-color:green;
    height: 100%;
    width: 70%;
    min-width:200px;
    float: left;
}
#right {
    width: 15%;
    min-width:50px;
    height: 100%;
    background-color:red;
    float: left;
}

The overflow: hidden is not working because you are using display: table and display: table-cell. and also I used positioning to center the #center.

Here is the working fiddle

PS: I am using min-width: 200px which you might want to change as your need.

After this, set listitems as overflow: scroll; it should work.

I am not sure , but maybe this will be useful for you:

li {
line-height: 80px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
}
