R052: line-height below 1.5 on Arabic body text

What it leaves alone

line-height: normal, which keeps the browser's default, and shorter text such as headings and labels, under 20 Arabic words. Up to eight per page.

Broken, then fixed

.article p {
  line-height: 1.3;
}

.article p {
  line-height: 1.8;
}

Check it by hand

Select the paragraph and run parseFloat(getComputedStyle($0).lineHeight) / parseFloat(getComputedStyle($0).fontSize) in the DevTools console. Under 1.5 is the finding; NaN means line-height: normal, which is left alone.
