Action Performed:

Description:

As more features are added to NewDot, the Left Hand Navigation (LHN) sections for Reports, Workspaces, and Account are becoming increasingly long. This causes many navigation items to fall out of view, requiring additional scrolling.
To improve visibility and allow more items to fit on screen, the row height on desktop should be reduced from 52px to 44px. This change will make the navigation more compact while maintaining usability.
For mobile, the current row height should remain unchanged to preserve comfortable tap targets.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open New Expensify on desktop
  2. Navigate to the LHN sections such as Reports, Workspaces, or Account
  3. Observe that the list can become long and items fall out of view quickly

Expected Result:

Desktop LHN rows use a 44px height, allowing more items to appear on screen.
Mobile LHN rows remain at 52px to maintain larger tap targets.

Actual Result:

LHN rows currently use 52px height on desktop, limiting the number of visible items and increasing scrolling.
