Ah, looks like the input fields are not vertically sized in ems, but pixels instead. (didn't check for realz).
Should be easy to fix. Flagging myself as a reminder to take this soon.

Edit context is going away in 45, so I'm going to mark this as wontfix as we're not likely to do the work now to backport it.
