 This ticket is to address proximity issues in the admin area as a whole.
 New tickets should be created for individual issues as they are found and
 reported.

 Background:
 In web design, the principle of proximity states that related items should
 be placed close together. By the same token, if things are spaced farther
 apart they appear to have less relation to one another.

 This principle is especially critical for users with low vision. It will
 even be addressed in the next draft of the WCAG guidelines!
 [https://w3c.github.io/low-vision-a11y-tf/requirements.html See
 Accessibility Requirements for People with Low Vision]

 Additionally, there will be ongoing education in
 [https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/ Make WordPress Accessible] to
 help better understand the issue so that problems become more apparent.
