This change updates our main forms CSS definitions to use Ink-defined
colors and spacing throughout. This includes several vaguely
interrelated pieces:

  • Fixed up colors throughout, removing hard-coded color codes and
    #rb-ns-ui.colors variables in favor of Ink CSS variables.
  • Moved old LESS-based variables into clearly-denoted legacy sections.
  • Updated field help text to use an ink-provided icon and flexbox-based
    layout, fixing up some ugly spacing and alignment.
  • Fixed an issue where opening the inline editor for draft comment
    replies caused the text to jump horizontally (we apparently had a rule
    for the horizontal margins get mistakenly deleted?).
  • Fixed up some existing definitions of CSS variables to use correct
    type prefixes.
  • Went through a variety of forms in the admin UI and verified
    appearance of form fields and fieldsets (both expanded and collapsed).
  • Verified appearance and functionality of textarea/CodeMirror editors
    in review request fields, reviews, and replies.
  • Verified that opening the editor for all inline editable
    textarea/CodeMirror fields did not cause any visual jumps.
  • Verified the appearance of <input> and <textarea> elements in other
    parts of the UI, including review request fields and reviews.

Could we use a variable here instead? of 2em?

    Small nit but would it be worth it to do something about the overflow cutoff here? Maybe ellipses or make the diff scrollable.

    1. I don't think it's really worth spending time on this. I had made my window pretty narrow for the purpose of taking the screenshots, and this UI isn't used very much at all.

    2. Sounds good.

    For styles that are for a component, you'll want to include the component's selector in the list in order to ensure that any changes to a parent that impact the styles will be reflected in the component's scope:

    :root,
    .rb-c-admin-form-inline-group {
      ...
    }
