Description

The VisualEditor edit bar is bigger on 1.25 installations than it is on the current version of VE on mw.org

By comparing what's on mw.25 with my own 1.25 install, I found a discrepancy.

This CSS is on the current mw.org version (but not 1.25). Turning it off via Chrome's dev tool appears to replicate the issue.

.ve-init-target, .ve-ui-overlay-global {
  font-size: 0.8em;
}

Rosencrantz set Security to None.

Looks like:

… need to get cherry-picked to REL1_25 of VE-MW (which was cut weeks before MW 1.25.0, irritatingly).

Does anybody have a solution to this?

Honestly I just added that bit above to my Common.css. It's not a great solution, but it works.

Thank you Rosenkrantz, I'll try that

If anyone's still having this issue then I recommend upgrading. 1.25 is very old now.
