Sample to reproduce the issue

Since Safari 7 (OSX 10.9), empty elements seem to have a non-zero offsetWidth under certain circumstances, which
obviously is invalid and leads to other issues. For example:

	// OffsetWidth of <b> is 1, why?
	<p>bold1 <i><b></b>x</i></p> 

	// OffsetWidth of <b> is 0.
	<p>bold3 <b></b></p> 

It looks like a regression in browser's engine as neither previous Safari nor other browsers behave like that.
I'm attaching a simple sample to reproduce the issue.

The same bug now got to the Chrome :D https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=395136

Chrome team seems to have fixed the bug, so now it's only WebKit left with this bug.

Safari 15.5 matches other browsers

I was not able to reproduce this bug in Safari 15.5 on macOS 12.4 and it matches other browsers as shown in the picture.

Since it was fixed along the line, can this be marked as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". Thanks!
