Bug 1539212 Comment 6 Edit History

Note: The actual edited comment in the bug view page will always show the original commenter’s name and original timestamp.

As shown in this screenshot of testcase 2, with overlapping text:
 - A `display:inline` element seems to have its backplate drawn "cooperatively" with other text on the same line (since the text is overlapping but visible).
...vs:
 - An `display:inline-block` element's backplate seems to be drawn separately from (and potentially on top of) other text & inline-level content in the same line (since the text is overlapping and the inline-block's backplate visibly stomps on the text that it overlaps).
