The glyph was always centred; the boxes were not. The current page is a span and took 0.5rem of padding with no border, every other page is an anchor and took 0.6rem plus a 1px border — 48px against 53.2px for the same digit.

So the highlight changed size as the pointer moved along the row, and a number sitting still inside a box that grew around it read as though it had slid off centre. Padding and border are stated once for both now.

Measured: every cell 53.2x32.7 at desktop, 37.2 wide at 390px, glyph centred in all of them. check-in: 2ae6328950 user: dmestas tags: pager-shape
