I mean, I know you said it's subjective, but can you try > elaborating on the intuition in favor of that? It's just gut feel about what I would want for both use cases. If I'm anchoring a single line to the top of a box, I mean for it to be at the top of the box, not for the descent to be a full line height down from the top of the box. However, if I have multiple lines of text, I want them to look balanced (the whitespace between the top of the box and the first ascent should match the whitespace between lines of text). It would be too jarring if the top line suddenly skipped down while a user is typing though, so I don't think we should implement this. If I had to pick one or the other, I would pick what we're currently doing, even though I think it looks wrong for the one-line case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
