`line-height:normal` does not help, see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2228#issuecomment-366310641

Chrome on MacOS:

`line-height: 1` does not help either, see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2228#issuecomment-504767148

The issue is not line-spacing 😀The issue is shown in the above screenshots. When it appears it appears even for a single line or word, on one OS vs another (more at #2228 ).
