  FYI: <https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/customize/theme/>
  
  If this is happening with a default installation, I suggest you [create a gitlab issue](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues). It would be great if you can also do a PR but if not, include whatever proposed CSS fixes you have in the issue ticket.
  
  To override the default CSS you can go to `Administer > System Settings > Resource URLs` and set the 'Custom CSS URL' to eg `[civicrm.files]/css/civicrm.extra.css` and then put your CSS changes in that file.
  
  You might want to look at some of the [alternative themes](https://civicrm.org/extensions?title=&body_value=&field_extension_civi_use_target_id=356)
