Bug Description
Hello,
The following (minor) issue affects 18.04, but not 16.04.
In 16.04, the panels are 24 px, but in 18.04 with the "Traditional" layout, they're 28 px.
So, in my attempts to make 18.04 appear the same as 16.04, I found that setting the top panel to anything less that 27 px has no effect.
If I remove the menu bar, I can set the panel to 24 px without issue. Also, the little MATE/Ubuntu logo next to "Applications" seems to be much smaller in 18.04, which might be related to the issue.

I think that the mate-panel is behaving correctly here, as it should not get smaller than its widgets allow. Sounds like the global menu itself is not capable of being smaller than 27 pixels. I don't have the global menu, but with mate-menu, mate-dock-applet, and indicators, my panel cannot get smaller than 28px. I'm personally fine with this, but maybe we should take a look at the global menu to see if it's possible to change it so that it's smaller. Maybe smaller fonts could help?
