new update breaks spacing in the block editor

Hey @tajroyer,

Thanks for writing in!

In Spectra v2.0.0 we have provided a feature for the users to set the spacing in between the blocks in the editor as they want & by default we kept it as 0.

So, can you please check by changing the setting from Settings > Spectra > Settings > Editor Options > Blocks Editor Spacing as you like & it will fix your issue?

Hope it helps, let me know how it goes.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

@rajkiranb what I’d like to know is why doesn’t the plugin respect the theme settings before overriding with a default value of 0? That’s not the type of UX experience anyone would expect.

Thanks @rajkiranb, that did work thanks for the tip. But I agree with @cgscomputers that it shouldn’t overwrite the default without notifying a user, and there should also be a “reset to default” button since there isn’t an on/off toggle for spacing.

Hey @tajroyer @cgscomputers,

I am glad it worked for you.

Thank you for your suggestions, we really appreciate it.

Also, to answer your question, We have kept it default as 0 because most people like to add a container for each section while designing sites & they manage the spacing between sections using the Container spacing settings.

As Gutenberg adds spacing to all the blocks only in the editor, the design in the editor & front looks inconsistent.

So, we provided a global setting to set the spacing in between blocks in the editor as the user like for his site.

About your suggestion of having a “reset to default” option OR a toggle to enable/disable this feature I will take note of this & discuss this with our team & we will decide how to move further with it.

Hope the above information helps, let me know your thoughts.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello @tajroyer @cgscomputers,

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.

Thank you!
