Hi Seedy and welcome to css :)

Great code sample - made it easy to spot that <b> is the culprit. Setting a background-color and something like left:-99px in the snippet makes this easier to see: In a simple terms, the height is still being accommodated, even though the element has been positioned off screen to the left.
