  <p>Test passes if the orange rectangle is just tall enough to contain the bottommost small filled teal square and the uppermost small filled teal square.</p>

  <!--
  In this test, the short vertical blue line represents the tallest
  inline box present in the line box. And its presence contribute
  to demonstrate that the line box height is not necessarly given
  by the height of its tallest inline box.
