Bug 120546

The region is auto-height so it should say fit instead of overset. > > It seems like the issue is related to the line-height CSS property. It is related to the line-height property. For instance, in the following case: <div style="font-size: 100px; font-family: Times; width: 200px; border: 1px solid red;">&#x00ce;</div> the special character will be rendered properly inside the box, which will have a height of 117 (115 from font + 2 from border). When you are setting the line-height to a certain value, say 1em, you are forcing the height of the div to be 102 (100 + border) and the content will overflow the box. <div style="font-size: 100px; font-family: Times; width: 200px; border: 1px solid red; line-height: 1em">&#x00ce;</div> If you flow the above box, with line-height in a region with height: auto, the height of the region will be computed based on the height of the box (102) but since the content overflows the box, it will overflow the region too, causing the overset being reported instead of fit. In your sample, if you set the line-height: 1.2, which is roughly the value for the default normal value for line-height, the content will not overflow the box and the reported value will be fit. In my opinion, although the behavior is confusing, it is not a bug. I am attaching a sample without regions in which i played with boxes and line-height and overflow: hidden. Take a look and tell me your opinion about this.
