Re your award of the token, I'm sorry--it's hard to draw a straight line, or anything resembling one, with a trackpad.

That's not why I awarded that token. My reaction to the entire bug report was "so what?" - I think you're wasting people's time on things that just don't matter.

Perhaps you have a point and my expectations of an organization with a hundred-million dollar endowment are too high, at least with respect to the footer aligning correctly.

Cheers!

Hi, does the above need a fix, I don't mind trying to fix it, if it's necessary?

@Obamwonyi
I have no objections, but I am now unable to replicate the footer bug. It could have been fixed without someone making note on this Phab task, though I am not ruling out a browser-specific issue.

Cheers!

Removing unrelated folks from CC list

I am again able to replicate the footer bug, although only on ChromeOS desktop v128. The latest version of Chrome on MacOS doesn't exhibit the spacing issue.

Upon a hunch, I reset the monitor's zoom, which solved the issue. I am hesitant to close this task as invalid, as I'm not 100% sure this is entirely a browser problem.
