Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010802
BuildID:    2001080214

Tested in Mozilla 0.9.3 for MacOS 9.1  The border in the second paragraph
overwrites the text.  You can barely see that there is text behind the border. 
It is as if the border is actually a very thick strike-through.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load the page
2.Scroll to see the second paragraph
3.Notice that the text is behind the border.

Um.... If you copy the text of that paragraph and read it:

  This is a paragraph that has a very long span in it, and the span has a 12px
  red border separated from the span by 2pt of padding (the difference between
  the line-height and the font-size), which should overlap with the lines of
  text above and below the span, since the padding and border should not effect
  the line height. The span's border should have vertical lines only at the
  beginning and end of the whole span, not on each line. The line spacing in the
  whole paragraph should be 12pt, with font-size 10pt.

Looks like we're rendering this correctly.... the border overlaps the text from
the previous line and hides it, as it should.  It does _not_ hide the text from
the succeeeding line, which is also correct.

Where is the bug exactly?

There are bugs on that page, but this is not one of them.
See bug 46918, bug 3490.
