Comment (by yeykohoju):

 CSS Reset for Form Elements: Apply a CSS reset specifically targeting form
 elements to standardize their appearance across different browsers. This
 can help mitigate inconsistencies caused by default browser styles.

 Use Flexible Units: Utilize flexible units such as em or rem for setting
 dimensions and spacing. These units scale better across various screen
 sizes and resolutions, contributing to a more consistent layout.

 Ensure Line-Height Uniformity: Maintain a consistent line-height for
 buttons and select boxes to aid in vertical alignment. This can help
 achieve better visual harmony between these elements.

 Cross-Browser and Cross-Platform Testing: Test the changes across multiple
 browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and platforms (Windows, macOS,
 Linux) to ensure consistent rendering. Tools like BrowserStack can
 facilitate this testing process.

 Prioritize Mobile Responsiveness: Given the prevalence of mobile usage,
 prioritize ensuring that the alignment remains consistent across different
 devices and screen sizes.

 Consider Accessibility: While making alignment adjustments, ensure that
 the changes do not compromise accessibility. Verify that sufficient
 contrast is maintained, and the clickable area of elements remains
 accessible to all users.

 Community Collaboration: Engage with the WordPress community to gather
 feedback and conduct patch tests. Involving users with diverse
 environments and experiences can provide valuable insights into the
 effectiveness of the proposed solutions.

 Document Changes: Document any modifications thoroughly to aid future
 developers in understanding the rationale behind the changes. Including
 inline comments in CSS or patch files can enhance code maintainability.

 Fallback for Older Browsers: Implement fallback styles for older browsers
 that may not support certain CSS properties used for alignment
 adjustments. This ensures a consistent experience across a wide range of
 browsers.

 Monitor and Iterate: Continuously monitor the alignment issue after
 implementing the solutions and be prepared to make iterative improvements
 based on user feedback and testing results.
