Reduced Test Case for details-element rem font-size rendering bug

I just discovered a very weird issue with the `details` and `summary` elements in Safari / WebKit. 

When adding a details and summary element to a web page, follow up content will be mis-rendered due to miscalculation in the font-size. The misrendering only affects elements that are calculated based on rem-units.

Note that the issue disappears when triggering a repaint (opening DevTools or window resize, not SplitView, not orientationchange in responsive mode but on real device) after page load.

Please see the reduced test case attached for more information.

Cheers,
Anselm

To clarify: The bug seems to be with rem values, not only with font-size itself.

As a second test you can also copy the source from https://mathiasbynens.be/demo/html5-details-jquery and place the h1 after the details element in the source, then call the file to see the rendering issues. It doesn’t work when doing this in Developer Tools though.

It can also be easily reproducible in the W3C specs. For example:

I can't reproduce this on iOS 12.4.2 nor Safari 13.0.2 on macOS 10.14.6. Seems like it was fixed in an earlier version.

Fixed a while back.

Whoa! This was a blast from the past. Thanks to all involved in landing this. It looks like it happened quite a while ago, but I was just able to go back to my client’s project and rip out the hack. Thank you!
