Thanks! You are perfectly right, images and names were not meant to be displayed in the same line by default – I had made them so by custom CSS myself. And I was able to fix that, too. For the record, this is close to what I am using now:

#vslm div.vslm-link-image, div.vslm-link-image img, div.vslm-link-name {
	display: inline;
}

And then based on the size of images (pretty small, more like icons), I make some more minor adaptations and thats works well for me.

Changing the <div>s into <span>s fixed at least most of the problem. Similarly, adding “display: inline” seems to improve things.

Investigating this more deeply, I find the following difference (line breaks mine):

v2.8:

<li ...>
	<a class="vslm-link-image"  title="My Title" target="_blank"><img src="https://example.com/my-image.png" alt="My Title"></a>
	<a class="vslm-link-name"  title="My Title" target="_blank">My Title</a>
	<div class="vslm-link-description"></div>
</li>

v2.9:

<li ...>
	<div class="vslm-link-image">
		<a  title="My Title" target="_blank"><img src="https://example.com/my-image.png" alt="My Title"></a>
	</div>
	<div class="vslm-link-name">
		<a  title="My Title" target="_blank">My Title</a>
	</div>
</li>

And that seems to really impact the spacing of links. Is that change here to stay? If so, is there a workaround for the previous behavior?

I guess this is WordPress’ fault: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/58333

A workaround is to add href=”#” to the anchor, but I guess this is not really fixing the bug underneath.

Thanks, good to know. For the time being, I use a secondary Google account for this, makes sense anyway in order to share it with coworkers.
