I guess the previous situation is still more practical, since by temporarily adding a newline there below the oversized line, it is at least possible to edit that line. With the line cut off, it is impossible to edit. Also, in cases where a line is only slightly oversized (as with the emoji example), with the overpainting it might look just fine, whereas with the cutoff it won't look fine. FYI, below is a screenshot of how the new example looks on my system ((K)ubuntu 14.04, Monospace font, normal style, size 9, which I believe is the default), after applying the line height fix: it looks perfectly fine.
