Facts:
 * The old bar was 34px tall, with a 3px border above it (I still have an old tab open)
 * The new bar is 56px tall, with a 1px border under it
 * 34*2 = 68
 * 34 = "As tall as the old version"
 * 68 = "Twice as tall as the old version"
 * 56 = "The height of the new version"
 * 56 < 68
 * "The height of the new version" is less than "Twice as tall as the old version"

If it is taller than 56px for you, then it is a bug.
