 Hello!

 Here are the places that I investigated and confirmed no fix needed:**
 - `common.css` line 4244 — `.wp-filter .button.drawer-toggle { height:
 28px }` in tablet media query: This is dead CSS. `min-height: 40px` from
 `buttons.css` mobile base already wins, rendering the element at exactly
 40px. No change required.
 - `list-tables.css` line 1908 — `.view-switch a` at 36px: Parent is
 `display: none` on mobile. Not visible to users.
 - `customize-widgets.css` — `.widget-reorder-nav span`: This is in a
 desktop compact media query (`min-width: 783px and max-width: 1100px`),
 not the mobile breakpoint. Out of scope.

 found soem dead CSS also -
 - `edit.css:1883` — `.post-format-options a div`: No PHP/JS generates this
 markup
 - `edit.css:1976` — `.wp_themeSkin a.mceButton`: Legacy TinyMCE 3.x
 selector; WordPress uses TinyMCE 4.x

 I am not sure regarding this place -
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-admin/css/customize-
 controls.css#L2890

 Do we need to update this too?
