Description

Steps to replicate the issue: Use desktop mode on mobile with the legacy Vector (no issue on Vector 2022).

What happens?: The entire page is a mess. The top part is so dense that you can't click "contributions" or "preferences" without misclicking everything. The list of contributions shows the edits in a long and narrow form with only a few words per line.

What should have happened instead?: Should, not, be a mess? It used to look like this until yesterday.

Other information: Happens on Meta, Wikidata, Wikiquote, Wikivoyage but not on any Wikipedia project. Sorry but it's very suspicious that this happens on the day Vector 2022 rolls out for everyone.

Not related to the deploy itself, but a mistake I made last week. Should be relatively straightforward to fix with the above patch.

QA Steps

❌ AC1: Meta, Wikiquote, Wikidata, and Wikivoyage in Legacy Vector should look as before new vector was deployed.
@Jdlrobson, the header on wikidata and wikivoyage look jumbled.

@Edtadros a bit of jumbling is okay - this mostly seems to be related to gadgets, not the issue we fixed here.

Looks okay, resolving
