I don't think this is a bug, it's just a result of the browser using a sans-serif font that is larger than the author expected, and/or the window size being smaller. I see similar issues on macOS if I resize the window to be narrower. And the same happens in Safari or Chrome. (Again, try reducing the width of the window.)

So it's simply a page design that is not very robust in the face of different font metrics and/or available space.
