Comment 10 for bug 46801

It is true that (in gedit as well), the cropping of the "close" icon on the tabs is not a new problem. (I just looked at the old gnome cross in gedit: it is indeed cropped the same way.)

But the new icon really exposes this old bug in a bad way. With the old cross, you need picky eyes to care about it. With the new close icon, it jumps out at you.

This change was made after RC 1, and seems like a negative step as far as the fit and polish of dapper is concerned.
