Issue with space added near shortcodes in WordPress 5.7

Same here. The reason is this CSS code:

p:empty::before {
content: “?”;
}

placed in the file /wp-includes/css/dist/block-library/style.css. Which in fact shouldn’t be included if Gutenberg is disabled.

The best way would be to disable loading this file (by default or as an option).

Thanks

I can confirm the same unfortunately with 5.7, but not before.

p:empty::before {
content: “?”;
}

@blackeye0013 @mhair This CSS sounds more like a regression in WP 5.7. It affects (expands) all empty paragraphs in all posts ever published with WordPress. Thinking best would be to open a ticket on Trac (https://login.www.ads-software.com/?redirect_to=https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/newticket) with a nice explanation and perhaps couple of examples.

Ah, sorry, seems this has already been resolved, and the CSS reverted. See https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/52764.
