[Support request] Zero top padding container block creates gap between containers in GeneratePress

We’re documenting this “bug” (?) because we’re hoping others having it will find a solution and perhaps there’s a reason this is happening, but it seems like a bug and can be very maddening. It’s LESS obvious on a site without a colored background.

When we have two blocks with black backgrounds and we do NOT set padding one of them we get a white gap between the blocks.

It’s odd.

We will update this topic as we clarify the issue, but in a nutshell if passing is set on one block and not on the next block a gap is created.

This issue is perplexing so our documenation of this is going to evolve.

Here’s a block, no top padding is set, a gap is created. By setting padding, the gap is removed. https://prnt.sc/Do4bD1_giTpi

Now we set the top padding to 30px, but the gap still exists: https://prnt.sc/rtvH-L8tDoKq

Then we click to the container block above and the gap goes away: https://prnt.sc/Onkezf9KK80Q

This happens on all blocks, but its VERY apparent when the background color of a block isn’t white.

Our description of this issue is very poorly done, but it happens on block elements and on page elements. If we do NOT set padding a white gap is created. You cannot inspect the block. It’s simply empty space in the page structure.

Any feedback on this would be great and perhaps documenting it will help others who are struggling with this.

It seems to be a white gap created between blocks. We looked through other support topics and didn’t see anyone specifically dealing with this and the CSS tricks used to solve other peoples problems with using empty shortcode blocks etc didn’t solve this problem.

Thanks!
