Comment action links are quite cramped on small screens

[pento]

On mobile devices, the comment action links are quite small and cramped - it's pretty easy to mis-tap.

Working on a patch to hide the "In Response To" column.

When screen is < 782px wide, it now:

• Adds more spacing between the action links so that it's harder to tap the wrong one
• Hides the "In Response To" column
• Unhides a new "In Reponse To" section in the comment column

I've removed the "View Post" link as it didn't really fit well here.

Revised patch. Styles were unintentionally affecting action links in the entire dashboard instead of just the comments list table.

All of the above fixes and added: Increased line-height of .row-actions for comments on single post; fixed typo on .fixed .column-comment .comment-post-link (awhite-space -> white-space)

All of the above fixes and: fixing my diff. Accidentally created it while in the /css/ directory, so it was missing the additional changes.

Fixes "undefined variable" errors

Previous patch was missing CSS.

Still applies cleanly against trunk. No need for a refresh.

Moving for review along with #29992 and #29993.

Just read the Slack convo from 3 weeks ago. So is the concensus to go ahead with an implementation like @helen's screenshot? ​http://cl.ly/3F1L0N3z1M0F0Z3t0X3W

I wouldn't mind moving to single column mobile layouts for all of our list table screens. My inclination is to run with Helen's screenshot and iterate from there.

No patch activity in the last few weeks. Punting to future release.

I missed this - this is one of the screens that I think needs more of a rethought to work on a narrow screen. Interim fixes are great, I'm just not convinced that comments really gets very much better with them. Happy to lay out what I think could be the path with my very old experiment going forward, if we think that's a route we want to pursue.

Comment action links now have room

Fixed by the work on #32395.
