Martin Giger [:freaktechnik] from comment 4 in bug 1820744:

Things still broken after the patch:

• Today pane toggle day alignment is wrong
• The panel subview header is massive (open any submenu in the app menu)
• The chat conversation list action buttons are not correctly aligned
• Chat layout was behaving weird (seems ok atm), but it's been weird since flex emulation, so needs more work anyway
• Input sizes in chat account settings (authentication settings, default channels) is broken

I expect there's more that I didn't spot.

Martin Giger [:freaktechnik]:

we could fairly easily replace all <box>, <hobx> and <vbox> with a div that has a class that has display: flex and the appropriate direction
