Form controls in admin should use heights in relative units — at Initial Version

Description

There are a lot of form controls in the admin that use hard-coded heights in pixels. This is problematic for users which change the font size, as the text then overflows / the UI looks broken.

Here are three in particular that fit neatly in a screenshot:

  • The search field’s input height
  • The actions’ select
  • The "Go" button

In all three cases, the fix is as simple as converting the height from pixels to rem (divide by 16).
