I think that's an upstream bug(?), as in this class font-size is small
(13pixels).

body, td, th, input, dt, #titles {
    font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;
    font-size: small;
}

It would be better to set the font-size to pixels or em.

I do support gradual changes (and we've made some as can be seen in

I added my first try for a themed GNOME bugzilla, if anyone want to try it.
The theme is "Gnome_white" and it's enabled by default for the logged in
user (login details in my first mail).

It's just the basics, GNOME's top bar and footer. Screenshots:

I agree with you. I'll check the upstream bug and see if they want any help
at this.

Cheers,
Tom
