Details

STR:

- open this page:
data:text/html,<div style='width:10px;'><span style='transform:translate(100px)'>text that wraps</span></div>
- inspect the span

==> The box-model highlighter only draws a rectangle around the first line box.

That's because in our getBoxQuads() wrapper: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/devtools/LayoutHelpers.jsm#40 we only care about the first quad returned.

2 solutions:
- either we calculate the outer bounds by using the min/max values found in all quads returned
- or we create a new InlineBoxHighlighter specifically for inline elements that would draw as many rectangles on the page as there are line boxes (with padding/margin and all)
