Attached file testcase 2 (reduced)

I think this is related to the lazy-loaded images for the articles that are just-offscreen, which have alt-text until they get lazy-loaded -- and their alt-text is super tall, which probably stretches the whole track/container to be super tall, or something along those lines.

Chrome is more aggressive about clipping alt text in these sorts of situations. Here's a reduced testcase for that.
