Thanks for your initial feedback! @Hiro: Not really, that's just a bit misleading from my blog post because the CSS shown is only the bare minimum to illustrate the function. If the `a` doesn't have `display: block;`, then it's only as wide as the text itself, so causing overlap is much harder. You'd have to touch precisely below the "One", not to the right of it. I updated your testcase to include `display: block` on the `a` and `span`, and with that, you should see the issue. :) @Kats: Ah, I somehow did not find bug 1192558 when researching. You're right, this is more or less a duplicate. I opened this bug mainly to start a small discussion about this, as Chrome and Safari appear to do no retargeting at all, and we've been seeing quite a few issues with retargeting in the recent years (I remember a couple of Covid-Dashboards with lots of issues in Fenix - but back then I did not spend the time to dig as deep into it). I'll spend some time next week looking at the older reports we received, and if the issue is similar to this one. If we have a few popular sites with breakage caused by this, then it's probably worth to keep this open, but if this is a one-off, having this wontfix'ed for now probably also works, we can always re-evaluate if we find more issues down the roead.
