This is because of the mw-indicators div. It's empty if there are no indicators, but the fact that it floats right and the VE toolbar then has clear: both; seems to make it take up space somehow.

Even if an empty indicators div doesn't take up space: if there are indicators, where do we put them in VE mode?

Butbutbut wasn't that supposed to be fixed with c81ed82f?
