Hi,
Width of Sidebar in Urdu Wikipedia is not correct, it have extra space between content body and sidebar. See this screenshot, I highlighted the extra space:

And we need like this:

In Firefox,

"mw-panel" has 160px width (computed) on en.wikipedia.org.
"mw-panel" has 193.667px width (computed) on ur.wikipedia.org.

Does this create any usability issues (as you write that you "need" this)? Or is this just that it does not "look the same"?

Likely INVALID/WONTFIX as it is intended/expected behavior:

div#mw-panel {
  font-size: inherit;
  padding-top: 1em;
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  top: 160px;
  width: 10em; /* ← relative units depending on the used font creating different absolute lengths */
}

And you have override of font-size to 110% unlike the 100% used on enwiki.

No, it does not create any issue, but looks odd.

So any solution to fix? Should we set font-size to 100%?

You can try/find 'solutions' by directly editing via your web browser's developer tools.

Closing as per T143097#2557680 (thanks for investigating, Danny!)
