Dropdown buttons in admin links not aligned properly [#2350387]

Problem/Motivation

On the Forums page (admin/structure/forums), there is a table with columns NAME and OPERATION. The OPERATION "edit forum" button is too low. To recreate, enable the forum module and go to admin/structure/forums.

Proposed resolution

Modify dropbutton.css to resolve forum operations but still adhere to split button functionality desired in Issue #2282599.

Patch works fine for me. I checked the CSS on several administrational pages with only a "simple" edit button in a row. It also solves the problem we have at Text-Formats administration page:

The styling of the dropdown buttons is not affected by the style change.

@evilehk
Maybe we could fix the issue with uneven spacing of buttons and the table rows - but this is a more general issue i saw on lot of administrational pages.

Great input, SteffenR, thanks! I modified the title of this issue since the problem does not apply to the forum page only.

I brought back the absolute positioning for the dropbutton, but added a transform to align vertically. I left the dropdown buttons with multiple options alone. Otherwise they would have centered themselves vertically when opened. I tested the admin views page, menu page, forum page, and text formats in Stark and Seven. Attaching patch, interdiff, and screenshot of text format page.
