When we trigger the #livestream chat for our events, this large gap appears in the  
`div.container.post::before`. Spacing is fine until I trigger the transformation with the tag.

I tried tinkering with CSS to adjust this element, but couldn’t figure it out. If I hide the ::before, an ::after appears. When I hide both, the spacing persists.

This spacing does not appear in the offical screenshot, so I’m not sure what’s going on:
