Posts with math are very, very tall in the feed
With the recent post previews, posts with previewed math end up becoming ridiculously tall

This obviously both looks ugly and means that fewer posts can fit on the page at once. There are two main ways that I think this could be resolved: forcing inline math display in previews or fixing the height and just cutting off the overflow. The latter being more consistent since it would be fixed height, though it might cut equations in half.

I think that forcing inline display of a given MathJax segment in some contexts but not others is not a great solution because there are a few things which get treated differently in the two contexts, to the extent that I change some markup if I decide to change a block to an inline block.
However, one thing which I noticed in your screenshot is that the first title used block display (and needed a content correction), and someone else noticed the block display too because I found an edit pending approval.
I think it would be reasonable to force inline display on MathJax in titles in all contexts (including the question page).
