compare status bar height of kate and dolphin

SUMMARY

The height of status bar seems too small compared to other KDE apps, like Kate (which looks perfect in size in my opinion). See attachment for comparison.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open Dolphin
2. Open Kate
3. Put them side by side to compare the height of status bar

While this is still the case in Dolphin 25.04.3, the way the status bar is shown has changed in git-master.
Looking at Dolphin side by side with Kate, it looks like the status bar in Dolphin is now slightly taller than in Kate
