Why this fix is okay for a11y:

I want to emphasize that this is a quick fix that should ideally be temporary. It's best to later change the hardcoded height: 15px values to something that respects the current rem size.

At the same time, this quick fix is a good solution because you no longer see cropped text (which is hard to read by itself) and also if someone wishes to make their text larger, the zoom-in combo command++ still works.
