Smilies forcibly have font-height

[acbaile]

Hi. I use custom smilies. They usually have size ~ 24x24. With full-size inline-displaing. In versions of Wordpress up to 4.1.6 everything was OK. But starting from 4.2 Wordpress forcibly makes height of smilies in a height of a font. Smilies became very small and lose expression. It's bad. I want to use full-size even if their height is more then font-height.

I tried to look for it in a code, but it's difficult to find reason. I found only that in a code of smile substitution new version of Wordpress hardly adds style="height:1em;" in html-code. I tried to remove it, but not successfull. Smilies stay small. Maybe changes in css-styling affects it?

I think, it's bug, because it reduce functionality. This have to be more flexible, like in previos versions. I rollback my Wordpress to 4.1.6 and I don't want to use newer versions because of this reason.

Removing hard-slyling of height and max-height in html-code for smilies

[acbaile]

Hi! I found solving of my problem. This behaviour was changed by pento in revisions 31733, 31864, 31909. I consider that hard-styling of height and max-height in html-code is not correct because restricts possibilities of other users (me, for example) to use full-size smilies. He has to look for another solving of his problem.

I made patch, that removes this hard-styling from code.

@pento Would you mind having a quick look at this?

This change was on purpose, to ensure that smilies and emoji are displayed correctly in environments that don't load CSS - for example, RSS readers and email. It's not possible to remove these rules without breaking smiley display for every WordPress site.

To override this for your specific use case, the best method would probably be to add a filter to the_content, and preg_replace() the inline style attributes.

You can not not-to-know that this filter affects only content of article from database, not discussed formatting that are hard-styled in php file. Liar!
