See the screenshot below:
Using my magic psychic powers I will guess that either you have customized font settings or you are on Linux, and most likely not using a popular distro either (I've tested this on popular distros.) 😄
In all seriousness: What OS are you using, and do you have any customized font settings? Thanks!
Your magic psychic powers are working 😃
It's Firefox running on 64bit Arch Linux (kernel 3.16.2-1, Gnome 3.12) without customized font settings. Checked it on a different machine running the same os and browser version resulting in the same height difference.
Yep, Arch has problems with addons due to it not coming with a good set of sans-serif fonts. I use Arch myself, and problems with Arch and Chromium involving addons are documented in #23. Given the extremely small number of people using Arch, and given that most Arch installs are vastly different from each other, I think that this is something that can be postponed, or in the worst case ignored. There's a relatively small fix for Chromium, documented in #23, but I'm not sure what I can do to fix Firefox. Finally, of the Arch users I know three of four don't even see this issue because they're using Nimbus Sans or an equivalent as the default sans-serif font.
tl;dr This affects a small portion of users running Arch Linux, and there is no small-size fix; thus, a fix is unlikely.
I've read issue #23 and thank your time spend investigating this issue. Even if this affects only a very small portion of users, I've done the following modification to fix this issue on my system:
Increasing the font-size of textarea,input,.addon,.btn-sm,.nav a from 14px to 16px fixes the problem in Firefox, while still looking nice on chromium, but slightly increases the input element size.
Maybe you could check the compatibility of this modification with other browser, system combinations and make it the default if you like.
Sadly this looks broken on other browser/OS combinations.
I'm on Win8/FF latest with no custom font settings, and I have the same problem. Noticed immediately when I went to the docs.
I am sadly marking this as wontfix, as this only affects a portion of users running Arch Linux, which is an extremely small number of people.
@bnb I can't reproduce this on my Windows/Firefox combos so I'm going to guess that your machine is somehow customized in a way that causes this bug. Again, no known fix and affects a very small portion of users.
