On the new version of vector that just went live on wikimedia, there seems to be two issues relating to font sizes: *Javascript messages (as in the stuff made through the jsMsg() function, like the watchlist stuff) Is way way too big *If while editing you wrap any content in a div (or table or center or really any block element as far as i can tell), (and so there are no <p>'s inside). You get huge line-heights. (ex http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&oldid=314574648 ) **Also related is the line-heights on the category box at the bottom of the page seems a bit big, but thats just my opinion. On the english Wikinews, to work arround these issues (I assume these are issues, they are not the behavoir i expect, but it could be concievable that it is intentional) we added the following style rules to [[n:mediawiki:Vector.css]]: #mw-js-message {font-size: 0.8em;} div#bodyCotent {line-height: 1.5em;} I think they should probably be added to main-ltr.css and main-rtl.css stylesheets. Anyways, I hope this is the right place to report this and all. Cheers, and thank you for all the great work on vector, its an excellent skin. -bawolff
Sorry. I made a typo. I meant div#bodyContent {line-height: 1.5em;} not div#bodyCotent {line-height: 1.5em;}
doing this also appears to fix having too big a line-height on special:watchlist
Assigning to Nimish as Trevor's currently out on paternity leave.
hm, it looks like adding div#bodyContent {line-height: 1.5em;} squishes the table of contents, images, and other things inside DIVs on other pages...are you seeing that on en wikinews as well?
I only have firefox to test on. The ToC is slightly more squished, but you'd only see it if you were looking for it (and your directly on the page, toggeling the rule on and off with firebug. I don't think i'd notice it without seeing the text move slightly while toggoling it). Does not seem to affect images at all (tested the normal thumb images and galleries) It does shrink the line-height on one of our templates that uses tables to make a fancy caption thing - [[n:Template:News in pictures]] (I would say that template had abnormally large line-height before, so that was a good thing). It does shrink the padding on headlines slightly. I tested the toggle on off of this rule on [[n:Main Page]] and [[n:Wikinews international report: "Anonymous"_holds_anti-Scientology protests worldwide]] (it had lots of images). cheers
I am noticing what appears to css scaling on images on wikinews. It is quite likely that the css rules i suggested are the cause of it since it does not appear on 'pedia. (I'm not really sure why it would cause that). In your previous message i thought you meant the text arround the image, not the image itself.
Nevermind, I accidently hit zoom on firefox without realizing it. The images are not being scaled as far as i can tell.

Yeah, the condensing isn't too much different from monobook, fixed in r56624
