Thanks for taking time to work on this, @cblanken :+1:
I saw in the issue page you mentioned that the problem comes from the browser default font size. Shouldn’t we set the default font size to 16px instead of setting it for the listSummary class specifically? My guess is that developers who worked on Tatoeba so far all used the default browser font size setting and built things with the assumption it would not change, so the same problem is likely to happen in other parts of the UI as well.

You're right. There are probably some more font-size related issues, but I think that's more likely due to the static design of most of the app. I'll try setting the top-level default font size, but it's hard to say if some parts of the UI will be negatively affected without checking every page.

Maybe @trang can give us some insight as she is more familiar with the existing CSS codebase.
I'll try setting the top-level default font size, but it's hard to say if some parts of the UI will be negatively affected without checking every page.
For what it's worth, I set the default font-size to 16px and clicked around the app for a while and didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
This PR solves issue #3097
Hard-coding the base font size for the sentence list table to 16px is the simplest solution and appears to be the most common hard-coded font-size in the application. This keeps sentence list counts within the table boundary regardless of the user's browser configuration.
It would be nice to keep the font-size responsive but I think that would best be done in a larger redesign to address all the existing hard-coded font sizes.
