So this is because the line contains a <span>Previous</span> with "text-indent: -1000em;" and we render the outline around that element. I don't know what other browsers do. Maybe they don't take out-of-view content into consider when drawing outline? That may make sense, I guess.

This is a simplified testcase. The second block should be exactly the same case as BBC, while the first block is a further simplification which may be a related but different issue.

OK, so it seems Blink doesn't count text into outline at all in this case, which is probably wrong spec-wise I guess...

It appears that the BBC fixed this on their site, but the core issue still exists.
