Issue visible in old versions, probably a dupe.

It was there in my Firefox 24 when I reported about it

Yes, but I tested on my side with FF8 and it's already present, so this bug is probably reported for ages. ;)

It's a pity because its annoying in some cases like the one I illustrated. However it rarely happens for websites to have so little margins between 2 lines

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
