Maybe the real intention here was to set the line spacing to m_platformData.size()?

I tried that, but that value was too low to actually solve the problem.

I talked with Enrica, and we came up with some interesting points.

1. The line-height of the lines inside a block is calculated to be the maximum of the line-heights of the constituent fonts. This means that, if the emoji's line height is 0, emoji won't affect the line spacing of a paragraph that it's within.

2. It is possible to trigger this bug if the natural line-height of the font used for the surrounding text is significantly smaller than the natural line height of the emoji font, but in practice, this seems rare.

2. Assuming #2 does not occur, the bug does not present itself if there are any non-emoji characters which are siblings of the emoji (because of the maximum line-height rule described in #1).

3. Assuming #2 does not occur, the bug only presents itself if the block is styled with "font-family: 'Apple Color Emoji' (, other fallback fonts)". This is a structure which Apple's Mail client should never emit.

Note that, related to the last item, the font that causes this bug is Apple-specific, yet Apple's mail client won't emit markup which triggers this. This means that the bug is rare.

I discussed this with Myles at length. Setting lineSpacing to 0 was used in earlier versions of WebKit for iOS and it is no longer needed.

And Dan chimed in!
