I suppose instead of doing jQuery.swap() on the element itself, we could jQuery.swap all the "display:none;" parents of the element as well... that's a brute force approach, but it may work?

I think we decided this was too gruesome to handle long ago. Mike Sherov's method will often work but would potentially be very slow in the general case. I don't think we'd want to be an enabler of bad practice.

It would be great if we could get this working, but it's not easy.
Related to #9300. This is different in that this element does not have a width set in its styles to retrieve as a fallback.
