Terminal Tab Titles Too Tall

Some time recently after an upgrade (Arch Linux), the XFCE terminal's tabs gained a bunch of blank space and became too tall:

Previously they were slim, only slightly bigger than the font, which was not in bold.  This waste of screenspace is annoying on my laptop, how can I fix it?  Doesn't seem to be affected by theme changes and I have not been able to track down any setting that controls or affects it. I assume there's something going on like a missing font, icon, etc..

Thx

Re: Terminal Tab Titles Too Tall

Using this snippet gets the tabs as small as I can get:

notebook tab {
  min-height: 0;
  padding-top: 0px;
  padding-bottom: 0px;
}

notebook tab button {
  min-height: 0;
  min-width: 0;
  padding: 0px;
  margin-top: 0px;
  margin-bottom: 0px;
}

notebook button {
  min-height: 0;
  min-width: 0;
  padding: 0px;
}

Thanks! Playing with themes did not do anything for me, but adding that code to my gtk.css did squash the empty space.  Thx

Quicker, use a gtk2 terminal like roxterm-gtk2 or lxterminal.
