Body

When viewport width is between 768px and 1012px, in the Reviewers section (right) on PR details page, the two icons for "Request Re-review" and "Comments" next to reviewer name are mis-aligned.

The fix can be a simple align-self: center to the comment icon <a> tag.

Hi @tambiyash,
Excellent catch and fantastic debugging!
Providing the exact viewport breakpoints (768px - 1012px) along with the precise CSS flexbox fix (align-self: center;) makes this a perfect frontend bug report. Since GitHub engineers monitor these feedback discussions, documenting the exact DOM element and computed style makes their job much easier for the next UI patch.
For anyone bothered by this in the meantime, they can easily drop your CSS snippet into a browser extension like Stylus.
(If this helps, please Mark as Answer.)

Just tested this on a few of our open PRs. You're 100% right – between 768px and 1012px viewport width, the "Request re-review" and comment icons are vertically off. The comment icon sits noticeably lower than the request icon next to it.

What I observed:

• Below 768px (mobile layout): everything stacks, no issue
• Above 1012px (full desktop): icons align fine
• In that middle tablet/compact window range: broken

Your fix is correct: The comment icon's parent <a> tag lacks vertical alignment. align-self: center (or even align-items: center on the flex container) would solve it. For anyone who wants a quick user-side fix without waiting for GitHub:

/* Stylus / userstyle snippet */
.pr-reviewers-sidebar .reviewer-comment-icon {
  align-self: center;
}

One additional observation: This seems to only affect reviewers who have already submitted a review (so both icons appear). New reviewers who haven't reviewed yet only have the request icon, so it's fine.

Good bug report – including the exact viewport range and the DOM fix saves the GitHub UI team a ton of time. Hopefully they pick this up in the next sprint.
