Description
Again, this might be intended but I'd like to check.
E.g., $$\sqrt {\log r}$$
With the new default font:
With the new STIX Two
With the "old" STIX Two
same expression with v4
In v4, STIX Two seems to have gained extra space within the root, both below and above the inner expression.

Research direction
Start by reproducing $$\sqrt {\log r}$$ in MathJax v4 with the new and old STIX Two fonts, comparing the rendered spacing shown in the issue. Trace the square-root rendering and font metrics to identify whether the extra space is unintended; done means the expression no longer has unexplained vertical space while preserving the intended root layout.
