The layer panel will draw symbols for polygons located in 2nd level of a rule-based tree with a width twice a large as normal. It's a bit difficult to explain in words, but the attached screenshot (bug-legend.png) should make it easy to understand.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new project
2. Add a polygon dataset
3. Open the layer property window, and set the symbology to rule-based
4. Add a root rule (simple fill), add a sub-rule to that root rule (also simple fill), and apply the symbology
5. Look at your layer panel, you'll notice the sub-rule legend symbol's width is abnormally large

It's not a huge issue, but for people who like to keep the layer panel a small as possible, the extra space taken by the legend symbol's extra width is unfortunate.

I cannot confirm this bug in QGIS 2.18.11.

I loaded NE countries.
Added a rule on @"labelrank" = 3@ with a simple fill.
Used "Refine selected rules" -> "Add categories to rule" (which I guess nIRV meant by sub-rule) on the @Level@ attribute. Also used a simple fill.

All style "icons" in the layer tree look square and the same size.
