@alexhollender_WMF could you please update this before next Monday (13th) with precise changes so there's no ambiguity?

A similar feedback on itwiki.

This is relatively safe, single line CSS change, but I've changed the description to note that padding between menu items is different than the line-height between lines of text.

Currently the line-height is quite tight, inheriting the browser default value of "normal". This can be seen in the following screenshot.

We might want to refine and standardize both these values, but I think https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T333927#8811199 via the Zebra update does a lot of the work here.

Nothing appears to have been fixed. I just opened https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dalton in Chrome for Mac OS, logged out, and when I inspect the "Special pages" link in the Tools sidebar on the right, I get this:

.vector-pinnable-element .mw-list-item a, .vector-dropdown-content .mw-list-item a {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    padding: 6px 0;
    color: #3366cc;

Note that the padding is still 6px instead of the 4px shown in the to-do item for this ticket. The text is also still 100% of the size of the body text, which is too large, but I think that's a different ticket.

Two notes:

1. Increased padding on the menu items means a larger click target, which is more accessible.
2. In certain languages line breaks can appear, and if the spacing is equal to the line-height, the line break will make these appear as separate menu items.

Examples for line breaks:
