The pre tag is shown in a larger font than other code snippets

Question

On Unix.SE and Meta.Unix.SE only, I see <pre> blocks in a larger font than <pre><code> or backquoted blocks. Observed in both Firefox 3.5 and Chrome 13.

This is perhaps not a bug, but it is weird. On the other SE sites, <pre> and backquotes and four-space indentation all result in the same font size.

Answer 1

The fix will be in the next production build.
