frivoal has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css21][css-inline] height of inline box with line-height not normal ==
**This is part of the #1796 series. Read that issue for content**

[Live test](https://rawgit.com/frivoal/web-platform-tests/line-height-experiments/css/css-line-height/line-height-001.html)

As demonstrated by this test, all browsers (Edge, FF, Safari, Chrome) agree that when you set the line-height property to a value other than normal, you get exactly the height you asked for, even when there are differently sized fallback fonts involved. In other words, nobody does the black behavior in [this diagram](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2017Apr/att-0008/IMG_20170421_173959.jpg).

Whether browsers do the red behavior, the blue one, or something else depends on how the baseline is positioned, and that will be dealt with in a separate bug.
