Description
Spec: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-ruby-1/#line-height
This bug report with Firefox and the related discussion illustrate a potential implementation problem when dealing with <ruby> text and trying to position it when it overflows its parent container, as it is currently implement to do and which the spec seems to call for. If a parent container for <ruby> elements behaves differently when sizing itself compared to a container with only normal text elements, styling becomes very problematic as the attachment to that Firefox bug illustrates.
