Hexchat text spacing disformed after recent updates

[lotuspsychje]

Ubuntu 22.04 development branch @ 15/04/2022 with kernel 5.15.0-25-generic

After recent updates (i suspect yaru-theme) my hexchat text spacing
looks changed with too less spacing at the bottom nearby the chat area

Things i have tested to influence this: (on a hexchat with Mono 14 as font)

*maximizing hexchat window makes the text less space (with dock at bottom)
*minimizing to a smaller window makes text spacing look better (with dock at bottom)

*maximizing hexchat window with dock at left, gives too much spacing
*minimizing to a smaller window makes text look better (with dock at left)

*on hexchat font Mono 16 space gap grows wider (with dock at bottom)

*testing on hexchat with channels in tree-view can also influence spacing with maximized vs minimized smaller window

Attaching screenshots with a Mono 14 with dock at bottom + left

Trying theme adwaita, looks better overall, but then changing the docks icon sizes
influence the spacing bug again

with the dock at left, everything look more sane again

so with the dock at bottom the most troubles arise
