title: Why is Chrome cutting off text in my CSS3 multi-column layout?
body: <p>I am using CSS multi-column layout to display text. The layout displays correctly in Firefox. Chrome, however, has a bug that <em>cuts/clips off the tops and bottoms of text characters</em>. Why is this happening? How can I make it work in Chrome?</p>
  <p>Here is a screenshot of the problem:</p>

  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>.multicolumn {
    max-width: 25em;
    columns: 3;
    margin: 0;
    font: 1.2em/.9 sans-serif;
  }
  
  .multicolumn p {
    margin: 0;
  }</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class="multicolumn"&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;hydrolytically hypabyssally hypogyny hyponymy mystifyingly karyotypically bathymetrically cloyingly&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
