Changing line-height to 1.2 or greater fixes the clip.
I'm not experiencing this issue in Firefox 65 though.

The descenders (the "g" characters) are clipping because the particular font-family in use here has a computed content-area height that is significantly more than the computed virtual-area height (that is, the line-height). This might help illuminate the issue: https://iamvdo.me/en/blog/css-font-metrics-line-height-and-vertical-align
The corresponding CSS rules you cited presuppose that the font-family that's getting inherited has a computed content-area that's within a typical (normal) range.
line-height: normal is based on font metrics. Using it in this situation will likely prevent clipping,
It would be good to have a reduced test case that loads the font-family depicted in your screenshot
