Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.1+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel
Many lines of http://planet.linux.org.tw/ have the bottoms of the
characters missing, truncated at the waist. Then the paragraph ends.
One must do ALT V Y N to turn off basic style to cure it.
No I don't download sytlesheets.
I'm sure you don't see the problem as usual, just me.
Wait, I removed
div.post-contents {
height: 120px;
overflow: hidden;
}
from the page and the problem is solved.
OK, it was intentional, but it sure looks broken to cut characters in
half, or at least put a visible chopping bar or something.
Else one won't know if the content they already downloaded is right there
hidden. Especially if the cut comes at a paragraph break.

This is exactly what is supposed to happen in such cases. That's what
the CSS spec say. Fix the site stylesheet instead.
The parts of the spec that are relevant to your case are:
An element's height exceeds an explicit height assigned to the
containing block (i.e., the containing block's height is determined by
the 'height' property, not by content height).
and
hidden
This value indicates that the content is clipped and that no
scrolling user interface should be provided to view the content
outside the clipping region.
