I was looking at some reports where people were complaining about the whitespace on dropdowns of the Special:Delete page, when using Firefox (not Chrome or Safari, IE unknown).
I notice that it seems that these do not use the full styling for OOjs UI dropdowns. Possibly they are not being infused or something ?
I do agree that the styling of the native option element looks weird this way.
FF dropdown of Vector
{F8828388}
FF dropdown of Monobook
{F8828400}
'normal' OOjs UI dropdowninputwidget
{F8828415}
The styling causing this large whitespace in the native dropdowns is the 0.5em padding of this rule:
```
.oo-ui-dropdownInputWidget option {
font-size: inherit;
font-family: inherit;
height: 1.5em;
padding: 0.5em 1em;
}
```
