According to the spec 7.2.6 [1], we should use computed line, not computed position [2].

Attachment: Bug 1555849 - part2 : enable wpt 'track-webvtt-non-snap-to-lines.html'.

As the video is 300*150, testing file would put the cue on the place which is 20% of video's height (30px) below.

The font size is defined as 5% of video's height (7.5px).

As the cue is left alignment, so we also have to set left=0.

In addition, there is no need to add padding.
