Gutenburg Block padding disappeared

This happened all the time to me when I used blocks, which is a reason why I don’t use them anymore.

What I found is that if you are to save repeatedly the page, and do that too fast for the wp automatic saving process, then these kind of issues can pop up.
I also found that the issues can pop up just like that, without further interference from a human.

What sometimes, but not always helped me was to re-save the settings in the backend.
Sometimes, I had to remove padding, save, re-add padding and save again.

That resolved the problems in some cases, but in other cases I had to fully rebuild the page or post.

Sometimes it helps to check the code generated (by using code editor instead of visual editor in the blocks interface) as it can show what happened to the padding rules in the code itself, and sometimes you can then fix the issue by correcting the padding value manually, however for that you need to read the code that is generated and can’t use the visual interactions, so it is only something you want to do if you are familiar with at least HTML and CSS (and the new Blocks Code syntax)

I hope re-saving the settings will do it for you!

I had changed some of the padding settings throughout the blocks and it didn’t resolve after not editing the page for a couple of days , the issue had resolved when I went back!

I have a habit of saving the page very often and didn’t think that it could have an impact, Thank you for your input I will keep that in mind for future problems!

Good that it resolved itself.

It is a strange behaviour that I observed in past often and I hear it often from users across all kind of blocks.

If the issue you experienced is solved with this, feel free to mark this thread as resolved, so other people may find a solution for it here when searching for the same problem.

Cheers!
