Translation: just make a completely different functionality and effect than what was originally intended because the DOM can only handle static content, barely.

The suggested change wouldn't affect functionality or the effect. It just tells the browser that there's a thing around the changing part with a fixed size that can't possibly change layout of anything around it, to the user it's invisible.

It will literally change the intended functionality by, placing it in a container of fixed height and overflow hidden
