Description

### Is this a regression?

- [X] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

### The previous version in which this bug was not present was

14

### Description

Before v15, `mat-option`s with long text were truncated so their height was always 48px and naturally, a gap was there to well separate each option.

Now the text is no more truncated but a min-height of 48px is applied. If the text of a `mat-option` take only one line the gap remains and there is no problem. But with 2 lines of more, the gap is no more and reading becomes more difficult

Research direction

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction, especially src/styles.scss, and inspect the mat-option styling for multi-line text. Done means restoring visible vertical spacing between options with one or more lines while preserving the expected 48px spacing for single-line options.
