Comment:

 There's already #48420 to discuss and improve alignments of all the form
 controls.

 I'd also like to remind that the last patch on #47477 solved most of these
 issues but there was some disagreement on committing it during Beta period
 so it was postponed.

 I'd like to suggest to close this ticket and move the conversation to
 #48420.


 > overriding of the height of these form elements doesn't seem to solve
 any accessibility problems (it was done as an "accessibility fix"?)

 Not sure I understand the objection. The main goal in #47477 was to remove
 ''any'' fixed height for all form controls to allow better scaling with
 text zoom. Keeping the top and bottom padding doesn't work very well when
 scaling with text only zoom, especially if padding is expressed in pixels.
 The best option is to not use top and bottom padding at all. Please let's
 continue conversation on #48420.
