No, you can't do that.  Unless an overlay entirely obscures a screen
line, it can never make the line height smaller, only larger.

Besides, even if you could do what you hint here, that would cause
unpleasant effects on display, whereby the text would jump up and down
when the overlay is popped up/down.
