Comment (by azaozz):

 For some reason this looks quite better here in WP 5.2.

 to close this ticket

 Indeed, perhaps this can be folded under an "umbrella" ticket however the
 main points here will remain unanswered:
 - This code is a specific change that caused regressions. It was added in
 WP 5.3 and affects all screens in wp-admin. Seems it was meant as an
 improvement (perhaps to a specific place/element) but didn't improve
 anything.
 - "Global" code changes that affect all of WordPress (regardless if they
 are CSS, JS, PHP) should not be made from partially related or unrelated
 tickets. This prevents proper reviews, testing, refinement, bug reports,
 etc.

 > Having worked on these CSS changes and having extensively tested on all
 the operating systems...

 Sorry but it's not evident how this particular code was tested, reviewed,
 perhaps improved/enhanced during beta, and eventually committed and
 released.
