I couldn't find a picture on my phone of the old format, but the spacing is different than before.

One of the mweb devs here. This was a conscious decision to handle the slightly annoying quirk iOS imposes on us. If you click on a textarea or input that has a font size of less than 16px, iOS automatically zooms in on the input area but when you're done it never zooms out. This leaves you in the slightly unexpected state of being able to pan left and right. The other way to handle this was to disallow zooming across the app, which is a line we refused to cross.
