[Bedrock] Revert extra spacing in settings menu

As of 1.21.100, the tabs in the settings menu have tons of empty space between them, which does nothing but require extra scrolling. This should be reverted because it's obnoxious and ugly. I doubt any actual players were asked about this change, as I don't believe anybody would ever have suggested the excessive poor spacing.

Similar suggestion was already submitted a month ago for the preview but is poorly worded and has not yet been acknowledged, so a duplicate suggestion was needed.

    Completely agree, this new style looks awful.

    I genuinely don't understand this UI change.

    On desktops and laptops, the UI scale is already too wasteful with screen space that I set the lowest UI scale still feel a bit too large. On mobile, the elements were fine and didn't need any padding. But from 1.21.100, this is genuinely awful. There is no excuse on why you can't fit 14 entries in a column on a 1440p display. For contrast, you can have 14 desktop shortcuts on Windows on the same monitor with the default icon size and layout.

    Seriously what is the obsession with designers wasting so much screen estate by adding completely useless padding that benefits no one, when there weren't any usability issues before. This is as wasteful with screen space as Windows 8.

    As an accessibility or mobile friendly option, I totally get it, but as an unchangable aspect for PC users? Baffling.

    I thought this was a bug on their end, not an active decision.

    The extra padding makes the settings menu hard to navigate and it looks awful
