px vs em/rem padding

Hey, i recently found out that using

px

px

for padding isn't necessarily a negative thing, especially if you don't want it to scale with text size. I also heard it shouldn't cause overflow but have found out otherwise, unless i'm doing something wrong? The first image is using emem, the second is using

px

px

, and as you can see, the px causes the text to overflow. if i reduce the

px

px

value it somewhat fixes it however even if the value is larger i don't believe it should overflow?

I'd appreciate any insight since i'd like to be able to get out of using em/remem/rem for a lot of things haha. Thanks in advance.
