Your file contains
padding : 5px 0px 5px 0px;

which is correct even if a little bit surprising.
[[
If there is only one value, it applies to all sides. If there are two
values, the top and bottom paddings are set to the first value and the
right and left paddings are set to the second. If there are three
values, the top is set to the first value, the left and right are set to
the second, and the bottom is set to the third. If there are four
values, they apply to the top, right, bottom, and left, respectively.

In other words, having "5px 0px 5px 0px" is similar to "5px 0".
