 right height. So the vertical space isn't saved. I apologize I should have
 clarified this! Would you consider reopening in light of this?

 Thanks for the context @s3w47m88, I've reopened (EDIT: I was but
 @SergeyBiryukov beat me to it) for UI/UX feedback and modified the title
 to have this context.

 My two cents would be to leave the existing user experience. Looking at
 the code to accomplish a height reduction the <br> found in the date would
 have to be replaced with a space, but on smaller devices this reduction
 would disappear again as the date will wrap to two lines again and may
 wrap inconsistently for Modified vs New items as their lengths differ
 which would display inconsistently. (attached screen -
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/45004/Screen%20Shot%202018-09-26%20at%204.36.52%20PM.png).
 As well if row actions show on hover and cause the row height to change
 this can be jarring for the user.

 That being said I'm not on the UI/UX team so will leave this to their
 input.
