Zoom at 100% was previously OK but now you must set at 80% to see our FULL eBay listing description?

It would appear to be part of a recent update because I've not had this issue on the same listings since they were created over a year ago. Also, since 4096 is a binary number I suspect it's some sort of upper limit on iframe height.

Some eBay listings have started to show a solid black box in place of the listing description. It is more common the higher the zoom level, as that increases the relative iframe height. This issue does not show in Firefox or earlier versions of Chrome.

Thanks @the Core
Yes, it does seem Chrome 77 beta is working, based on earlier eBay user observations.
However, my posts are mostly to confirm if a fix was part of a known issue and patch to avoid a future regression if this issue is inadvertently sneaking in and out of the code base.
Attached is a screenshot from Incognito mode. I had to set the zoom to 150% to get this, but that's mainly because I updated this eBay listing to work around the issue for lower zoom levels.
The core of the issue seems to be iframe height of 4097 or more, whether that's an absolute >= 4097 or a relative height based on a zoom level over 100%.
