Thanks to Guillem for these illuminating comments.

Unfortunately, evidently no-one in the past year and a half has had
the effort and attention to fix our custom theme.  Working on the
custom theme is not a thing that I have the effort or inclination to
do.

If those who really dislike the Classic theme find it too ugly, then I
think it would be reasonable to expect those people to maintain that
theme.  That includes fixing serious defects in a reasonable time.

So I think the right decision would be to change the default theme to
Classic, until the bugs in the custom theme are fixed.

As I say, the formatting bugs in the current theme are very severe.

Sorry,
Ian.
