I don't see a difference and there's so much shit that should be fixed with shoutbox before this, like autoscroll and autofill. -1
I don't think its major to even try and fix if it can be fixed. There's other things to worry about like Frost and Python pointed out. Please get rid of that fucking message history shit and fix autoscroll when people message.
+1 to both fixing the icon alignments and to removing the autocomplete thing. As a person with OCD, I can see where @My Dime Is Up is coming from when he wants the icons to be properly aligned with the text. But what @Frost wants fixed is annoying as hell! So please fix both.
