@jasmussen The idea here is that since we're defining the base margin above, we need to reset these margins for the first and last block of each container block.

Without this, the padding is not applied properly in the group block (you'll notice an extra space on tthe editor)

As can be seen in #24966 (comment), this isn't working for me. I have the following in my editor style:
figure,
p {
margin-top: 2.5rem;
margin-bottom: 2.5rem;
}
I'm still sort of worried about this being an awfully specific style rule that could have consequences we can't imagine. I don't have a strong opinion, insofar as I appreciate you trying to handle this so I wouldn't have to manually go to the last paragraph and specify a zero margin. I suppose we can try it, and remove it if it has side effects.

I'm afraid this had unintended consequences.
The above happens because every nesting container has a last child that's the appender:
Unless, apparently, an adjacent block has been selected:

I guess that's because the appender div is the "last child" so the margin reset is not applied. I wonder why this empty div is rendered and whether we can remove it.

In this PR, I remove the rules: #25527 — I honestly think it's for the best.

I'll take a look but I think there's still value in the rules. So I'd like to see if we can find a better solution.

I think this can probably be absorbed by the hook and added automatically somehow. cc @ItsJonQ

@ItsJonQ I'm not familiar with the attribute shape yet, can you clarify a bit what visualizers contain here?

It'd be nice if it would be absorbed by the hook, otherwise we need to be more careful with any updates to BoxControlVisualizer. Also from its name, it feels like it shouldn't be a public API.

@youknowriad Sure! I can expand on this a bit. The visualizers need to show in 2 ways:
- On value change (they flash) (via the
valuesprop) - On hover (they persist) (via the
showValuesprop, which arebooleanvalues)
Right now, state for showValues object is being communicated from the controls (in the sidebar) to the canvas via updating the style attribute.
It works, but I'd prefer a more streamlined way of coordinating this state - Ideally without using the data store and relying on a context + Provider wrapper.
Hope this helps!

Yeah, I'm a bit concerned about the use of an attribute for that state since it's not a persistent state.
I wonder if we could just rely on local state if we move the rendering of the BoxControlVisualizer to the hook. Not sure thought.

Nice work. This is what I see:
Note that I'm applying a big padding by default on any group that has a background, in the theme shown here. But the padding correctly overrides that, including on the frontend. I'm seeing an error when customizing just one of the padding sides:
... but I'm seeing that also in Cover:

Yes, got the same error @jasmussen I'll have to investigate this one separately. |

Hmm! I see the error as well. Taking a look at this 🤔 |
Update: It looks like there's something with the It works for me once I wrap the content in a function Tooltip( { children, text } ) {

This PR adds padding support to the Group block similar to how we do it for the Cover block.
