 This ticket is a follow-up to
 [#60196](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/60196), which fixed margin
 differences between the editor and frontend. However, there's still a
 noticeable spacing issue due to a mismatch in `line-height`.

 As mentioned in the comment
 (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/60196#comment:10), the editor sets
 `line-height` on the `<html>` tag, while the iframe used in the editor
 applies `line-height: normal` on the `<body>`. This causes the text
 spacing in the editor to look slightly different from the frontend.
