Presumably this page renders correctly on IE, probably what the author uses.  It
also renders correctly in Safari.  It is wrong "in the same way" in Mozilla (on
Linux and Mac) and in Firefox (on Mac).  I will attach am image of the
wrongness.  (Sorry in advance for the vague, probabaly duplicated bug report, I
just wanted to note the issue before I forgot.)


Reproducible: Always

.box{ padding:6px; height:42px; }

The height of the content is more than 42px, so it overflows.  It works in IE
because IE does height wrong.

Not a browser bug.  The site needs to fix its CSS.
