Adding .visually-hidden to table results in it taking up space

Describe the issue

If I apply the visually-hidden class to a <table> element then in some browsers it appears to take up space still, resulting in scrollbars, even though the table isn't visible.

1. Create a page with a <table class="visually-hidden"></table> element.
2. Add enough contents to it that it would be longer than the page

On macOS, in Safari 26.0.1 and Chrome 141.0.7390.55 I see this problem. Firefox 141 does not exhibit the issue.

Reduced test cases

Here's a codepen - see the vertical scrollbar in the apparently empty main area: https://codepen.io/philgyford/pen/dPGNyoE

What operating system(s) are you seeing the problem on?

macOS

What browser(s) are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome, Safari

What version of Bootstrap are you using?

v5.3.8

Start with the reduced CodePen test case and reproduce the issue in Safari and Chrome on macOS, then compare the behavior with Firefox. Inspect the visually-hidden class as applied to a table and determine a change that prevents hidden tables from creating scrollbars while preserving the class's intended behavior. Done means the reproduction no longer shows the unwanted scrollbar in the affected browsers.
