Comment (by helenyhou):

 Collapsed admin menu problems happened in [21574]. Menu tabs have been
 that way since [16145] or [18258], seems like. Fixed in
 [attachment:22248.5.diff], but the collapsed header in blue has that
 optical illusion of overhang again that gray doesn't. Should we fix it?

 Replying to [comment:18 nacin]:
 > I don't think that we need to bother with removing colors and properties
 from wp-admin.css when moving stuff out into the colors files. Simply
 overriding the values in the colors files seem sufficient, even if a bit
 odd.

 I disagree. We need to pick one way and stick to it, otherwise we end up
 with what's happening now - patches that move declarations back and forth,
 leaving less experienced contributors wondering what is wrong with us and
 less likely to contribute because they don't know where something is
 supposed to go. Some of the stuff (notably form elements) that is moving
 back out got moved into wp-admin.css during this cycle at some point,
 which should not have happened in the first place.
