Definition List compounds bottom margin with each nested level

Description

With each nested level of definition list, the bottom margin seems to expand.

This appears to be due to display: flow-root (which the expected behaviour shows when removed). I'm not entirely sure why this rule is used to generate new block formatting context, so it's probably not a good solution (unless it were changed to not apply to nested children?).

The behaviour examples shown below is with excessive nesting. My actual use case is not as bad, but noticeable enough that I figured I should raise an issue about it.

???+ info "Syntax"

    1. Declaration: `=== [tab-title]`

        `[tab-title]`
        
        : Provide a quoted string as the name of the tab. Markdown content is supported.

    2. Tab content is provided from the next line onward, assigned by indentation of 4 spaces.
    3. There should be a blank line before and after the tab content.
    4. Repeat steps for grouping additional content under related tabs.

Actual behavior

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Enable and use the def_list markdown extension in mkdocs.yml.

2. Add the markdown below to a doc page and build/preview the rendered output:

   a
   
   : b
   
       : c
   
           : d
   
               : e
   
   f

Package versions

Current release of the mkdocs-material Docker container.

Project configuration

Standard instance should do the trick, this is affected by mkdocs-material CSS.

System information

Manjaro Linux with Firefox.

Thanks for reporting. That shouldn't happen. I've added display: flow-root, so those elements won't bleed in to inline admonitions, but it appears that it's not necessary. I've removed it in c011da1. Let's see if that breaks something else.
