It may be the display flex, but without it we regress bug 1368437. Unfortunately having all the requirements for this notification (shrinking behavior, animations, l10n, a11y, rtl) takes a lot of time, so either we drop some requirements or we'll just spend lots of resources for simple polish issues like this one. Atm I don't have time to play with the css rules to see if there's a way to improve perf without losing any of those requirements.

I agree with Marco that we shouldn't worry too much about this. What the hint is about is unclear anyways, the icons are used inconsistently, and the text animation is meant to look like someone typing, but it doesn't convey this effect anyways.

By adding a small blank space to the end of the text, we can make the animation look faster. Also, the issues with the animation wouldn't be noticeable in that space.

note: since this is very simple, we should probably uplift to 55.
