Gap under tab bar. How to clean up in userChrome??

Hello All,

After tuning userChrome.css to have tabs on bottom there is a small gap under the tabs towards the page render area. I could not identify the origin of this gap nor which UI object is causing it. Could some expert help remove the gap? Please see attached screen copy and userChrome file below for info.

Thanks, Gert

Could be a problem with the height of the menu bar that sets a padding-top that is too low.

/* Padding under menu file edit view. Opens space for URL bar */ 
#navigator-toolbox{
  padding-top: calc(29px + var(--uc-titlebar-padding,0px)) !important
}
 
/* Menu bar 'file edit view' above URL above bookmark buttons above tabs */
#toolbar-menubar{
  position: fixed;
  display: flex;
  top: var(--uc-titlebar-padding,0px);
  height: 29px;
  width: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
