Priority: normal | Milestone: Awaiting Review

--------------------------+-----------------------------
WordPress versions compared:
6.9.1
7.0
Environment: Clean install, classic theme, no active plugins
Steps to Reproduce
Go to Appearance → Customize
Make any change so the Publish button becomes active
Compare the Publish button in WordPress 6.9.1 and 7.0
Expected Result
The Publish button should maintain consistent height, padding, and visual
weight across versions unless intentionally updated as part of a UI
refresh.
Actual Result
In WordPress 7.0, the Publish button appears:
Slightly taller
Visually heavier
Larger compared to its appearance in 6.9.1
This changes the visual balance of the Customizer header.
Additional Notes
Reproducible on clean installs
No custom admin styles
Reporting to confirm whether this change was intentional
